3. IRAQI BIOLOGICAL WARFARE (BW) DEVELOPMENTS

were you on the ground In Iraq?This may apply to you.

http://www.desert-storm.com/Gulflink/95071901.txt

FORTY HIGH PERFORMANCE AEROSOL GENERATORS IN THE SPRING OF 1990,
OSTENSIBLY FOR SPRAYING CROPS WITH PESTICIDES. THE GENERATORS
WERE CUSTOM BUILT TO DELIVER EITHER LIQUID OR DRY MATERIAL EITHER
SINGLY OR SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE GENERATORS CAN DISTRIBUTE FIFTY
LITERS PER
MINUTE (3,000 LITERS PER HOUR OR APPROXIMATELY 800 GALLONS PER
HOUR) THROUGH A CUSTOM DESIGNED NOZZLE(S) WHICH PERMITS THE
AEROSOL TO BE ADJUSTED TO TEN DIFFERENT PARTICLE SIZES. THE
DISSEMINATION
OUTLET CAN BE ROTATED ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DEGREES THEREBY
ENABLING DISSEMINATION HORIZONTAL TO GROUND OR WATER SURFACES, OR
UPWARDS AT AN ANGLE PERMITTING PREVAILING WINDS TO CARRY THE
AEROSOL. THE IRAQI ENTITY WHICH ACQUIRED THE AEROSOL GENERATORS
IS NOT KNOWN AT THIS TIME BUT COULD VERY WELL BE CONNECTED TO THE
IRAQI BIOLOGICAL WARFARE (BW) PROGRAM.

2. THE AEROSOL GENERATORS ARE OF SUCH SIZE TO FIT ON THE
BACK OF A PICKUP TRUCK OR A SMALL ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLE, A SMALL
BOAT, OR SMALL AIRCRAFT. THESE UNITS WOULD BE SUITABLE FOR THE
DISPERSAL OF BW AGENTS IN EITHER LIQUID OR DRY FORM. THE ABILITY
TO DISPENSE SIMULTANEOUSLY LIQUID AND DRY MATERIALS WOULD ENABLE
THE IRAQIS TO DISSEMINATE TWO BW AGENTS AT THE SAME TIME. SUCH
UNITS, HOWEVER, WOULD THEMSELVES BECOME HEAVILY CONTAMINATED
DURING USE AND WOULD REQUIRE DECONTAMINATION TO RENDER THEM SAFE.
PERSONNEL OPERATING SUCH UNITS WOULD AT A MINIMUM NEED TO WEAR A
PROTECTIVE OVERGARMENT, A CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL WARFARE MASK,
AND UNDERGO THOROUGH DECONTAMINATION AFTER DISPENSING THE
AGENT(S). DECONTAMINATION OF THE AEROSOL GENERATORS AND TRANSPORT
VEHICLES WOULD LIKELY HAVE TO OCCUR NEAR THE AREA OF OPERATION AT
REMOTE LOCATIONS SO AS TO MINIMIZE INCIDENTAL CONTAMINATION OF
IRAQI FORCES.

3. THE IRAQIS HAVE TWO CONFIRMED BW AGENTS--ANTHRAX AND
BOTULINUM TOXIN. ANTHRAX CAN BE DISSEMINATED BY AEROSOL
GENERATORS EITHER AS A FREEZE-DRIED POWDER OR AS A LIQUID
SUSPENSION.
THEORETICALLY BOTULINUM TOXIN CAN BE DISPENSED AS EITHER A FREEZE-
DRIED POWDER, PROBABLY IN COMBINATION WITH A FILLER, OR AS A
LIQUID. THE MORE LIKELY OF THE TWO CHOICES FOR BOTULINUM TOXIN IS
DISSEMINATION AS A POWDER. POWDERS ARE EASILY MIXED WITH FILLERS,
POSE A CONSIDERABLY GREATER THREAT THROUGH INHALATION, AND ARE
BETTER ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE SHEAR FORCES EXPERIENCED WHEN
DISSEMINATED THROUGH NOZZLES WITH A RELATIVELY SMALL ORIFICE.

5. more on salman pak

http://www.desert-storm.com/Gulflink/950719fq.txt

SALMAN PAK IS ONE OF SIX IDENTIFIED CW-RELATED FACILITIES IN
IRAQ,
/AND IS THE ONLY CONFIRMED BW-RELATED FACILITY. IT IS IRAQ'S
/PRINCIPLE BCW RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FACILITY. THE OTHER
/IDENTIFIED CW FACILITIES INCLUDE AL HADRE CW TEST FACILITY
< (b)(2) > , SAMARRA RESEARCH PRODUCTION AND STORAGE FACILITY
< (b)(2) >, AND HABBANIYAH I, II, & III POSSIBLE CW PRODUCTION
/FACILITIES < (b)(2) > /RESPECTIVELY).
/
/< (b)(1) sec 1.3 (a)(4) > THIS
/PROVIDES STRONG EVIDENCE THAT THIS FACILITY IS INVOLVED IN BCW
/RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.
/
/< (b)(1) sec 1.3 (a)(4) >

THAT HIGH-CONTAINMENT (P3
/OR P4) BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH, POSSIBLY INCLUDING BIOLOGICAL WARFARE
/OR BIO-TOXIN RESEARCH-PILOT SCALE PRODUCTION, IS BEING CONDUCTED
/HERE.
/
/THE FOLLOWING MILESTONES WERE OBSERVED DURING THE PREVIOUS YEAR:
/
/
/1. CONSTRUCTION WAS COMPLETED AT THE EXPANSION TO THE
/ENGINEERING-RESEARCH AREA BY 19 AUGUST 1989. THE EXPANSION
/(PROBABLE PRODUCTION SECTION) INCLUDED SEVEN LARGE SINGLE STORY
/BUILDINGS WITH A COMBINED FLOOR SPACE OF 12,000 SQUARE METERS.
THE
/EXPANSION IS BETWEEN THE EXISTING ENGINEERING-RESEARCH AREA AND
/THE RIVER.
/2. THE ADDITION OF A SECOND COOLING UNIT AND TRANSSHIPMENT
/ACTIVITY IN THE SENSITIVE STORAGE AREA IN NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 1989
/SUGGESTED AN INCREASE IN PRODUCTION-STORAGE OF SENSITIVE
/MATERIALS, POSSIBLY INCLUDING BW AGENTS.
/3. NEW CONSTRUCTION WAS OBSERVED IN THE PROBABLE PRODUCTION
/SECTION OF THE ENGINEERING-RESEARCH AREA ON 19 JUNE 1990. THIS
/WAS THE FIRST NEW CONSTRUCTION SINCE SEVEN BUILDINGS WERE
/COMPLETED IN AUGUST 1989. THE PURPOSE OF THESE NEW BUILDINGS HAS
/NOT BEEN FULLY DETERMINED, < (b)(1) sec 1.3 (a)(4) >


/4. ON 2 JULY, FIVE PROBABLE REFRIGERATED TRUCKS WERE IDENTIFIED
/FOR THE FIRST TIME AT SALMAN PAK. THEY WERE IN THE VEHICLE
/SUPPORT-MAINTENANCE SECTION OF THE ENGINEERING-RESEARCH AREA,
NEAR
/ONE OF THE T-SHAPED RESEARCH LABORATORY BUILDINGS.

6. HABBANIYAH Chemical weapons plant

http://www.desert-storm.com/Gulflink/950719fm.txt

THE THREE POSSIBLE CW-RELATED FACILITIES NEAR HABBANIYAH WERE
/NEARLY IDENTICAL IN APPEARANCE < (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) >
/ SINCE THAT TIME, HOWEVER, CONSTRUCTION AT HABBANIYAH POSSIBLE CW
/PRODUCTION FACILITY I < (b)(2) > AND HABBANIYAH POSSIBLE CW
/PRODUCTION FACILITY II < (b)(2) > LEAVES ONLY THIS FACILITY
/WITH IT'S ORIGINAL LAYOUT. THEY ARE OPERATED BY THE FRONT
/ORGANIZATION, STATE ESTABLISHMENT FOR PESTICIDE PRODUCTION
(SEPP).
/ THEY ARE BELIEVED TO BE PRODUCTION FACILITIES FOR THE NERVE
/AGENTS GB AND GD (SARIN AND SOMAN) OR FOR THE PRODUCTION OF
/PRECURSOR CHEMICALS. AN INDIGENOUS PRECURSOR CHEMICAL PRODUCTION
/CAPABILITY WOULD ALLOW IRAQ TO CIRCUMVENT EXPORT CONTROL LAWS,
/LESSEN IRAQ'S DEPENDENCE ON AN UNSTABLE OPEN MARKET, AND MAKE IT
/MORE DIFFICULT TO MONITOR IRAQI CW PRODUCTION.

/< (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) >


/--FACILITY DESCRIPTION--
/
/THIS POSSIBLE CW PRODUCTION FACILITY IS APPROXIMATELY 44 NM
/NORTHWEST OF BAGHDAD AND 25 NM SOUTH OF SAMARRA IN CENTRAL IRAQ.
/IT IS APPROXIMATELY 11 NM FROM HABBANIYAH POSSIBLE CW PRODUCTION
/FACILITY I < (b)(2) > AND 8 NM FROM HABBANIYAH POSSIBLE CW
/PRODUCTION FACILITY II < (b)(2) >.
/
/THE DOUBLE-FENCE-SECURED FACILITY CONSISTS OF A TWIN-LINE
PROBABLE
/PRODUCTION BUILDING LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL PART OF THE FACILITY,
/AND FOUR PROBABLE DRIVE-THROUGH WAREHOUSE-STORAGE BUILDINGS EAST
/OF THE PROBABLE PRODUCTION BUILDING. IN ADDITION, A SQUARE
/POSSIBLE RESEARCH-LABORATORY BUILDING WITH AN OPEN COURTYARD, TWO
/POSSIBLE LABORATORY-SUPPORT BUILDINGS, A GUARD SHACK, AND A
/POSSIBLE FUEL PUMPING STATION WITH FOUR LARGE AND THREE SMALL
/STORAGE TANKS MOUNTED ON A CONCRETE PAD ARE WEST OF THE PROBABLE
/PRODUCTION BUILDING, NEAR THE ENTRANCE TO THE FACILITY.

RMK/ A TANKER TRUCK WAS PRESENT ON THE NORTHERN SIDE OF THE '
SAMARRA-TYPE' PRODUCTION BUILDING AND LIQUID STAINS WERE VISIBLE < [br /> (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ]. THIS MAY INDICATE THAT LINES WITHIN THE
PRODUCTION BUILDING ARE BEING PURGED FLUSHED IN PREPARATION FOR
FUTURE PRODUCTION RUNS OF CW AGENTS OR PRECURSORS. THIS TRUCK WAS
/NOT PRESENT ON < (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) > 26 AUGUST.
/ IN OTHER AREAS OF THE FACILITY, A CONCRETE TRUCK WAS BACKED
UP TO THE LARGE RECTANGULAR PAD ACROSS FROM THE EASTERN CHEMICAL
PRECURSOR PRODUCTION LINE, AND WAS PROBABLY PREPARING TO
/POUR AN EXTENSION TO THAT PAD. THIS AREA WILL PROBABLY BE USED
/ AS A HARDSTAND FOR STORAGE TANKS < (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) >
