/****** BEGINNING OF SECTION 002 ******/
9.         B1OLOGICAL WARFARE. A SUSPECTED IRAQI BIOLOGICAL AGENT
PRODUCTION FACILITY HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED ON THE SOUTHEASTERN EDGE 
OF
THE SHI'A HOLY CITY OF AN NAJAF. THE WALL-SECURED FACILITY SHOWS
SIMILARITIES TO THE LATIFIYA SUSPECT BW FACILITY THAT WAS 
DESTROYED
BY THE COALIT1ON BOMBING CAMPAIGN IN EARLY FEBRUARY. AN IT WAS
RECENTLY REPORTED THAT IRAQ'S BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS PLANT AT SALMAN 
PAKS RELOCATED TO A SITE SOUTH OF AN NAJAF. [   (b)(1) sec 
1.3(a)(4)   ]
10.        THERE IS STRONG EV1DENCE THAT IRAQ IS ATTEMPT1NG TO RE-
ESTABLISH 1TS SEVERELY DEGRADED BW CAPABILITY. IN EARLY JANUARY, A
TRUCK LOADED WITH HEAVY EQUIPMENT WAS OBSERVED DEPARTING SALMAN 
PAK, INDICATING THAT THE IRAQIS WERE REMOVING LABORATORY OR 
PROCESSING EQUIPMENT IN ORDER TO SAVE THEM FROM DESTRUCTION FROM 
COALIT1ON AIR STRIKES. ONGOING ACTIVITY AT THE HEAVILY DAMAGED 
SALMAN PAK FAC1LITY SUGGESTS THAT IRAQ IS ATTEMPTING TO SALVAGE 
EQUIPMENT FROM THE BOMB-DAMAGED BUNKERS AND WAREHOUSES IN THE 
STORAGE AREA, POSSIBLY TO MOVE TO ANOTHER FACILITY SUCH AS THE ONE 
AT AN NAJAF. TRUCKS AND A TRACTOR-TRAILER WERE ALSO OBSERVED AT 
THE ABU GHURAYB VACC1NE PLANT AFTER IT WAS BOMBED AND AT THE TAJ1 
SUSPECT BW STORAGE FACILITY BEFORE IT WAS STRUCK.
