              FRACTURE THE COALITION BY STRIKING ISRAEL AND THEN
              STRIKING SAUDI ARABIA. THERE ARE INDICATIONS HE MAY
              INTEND TO NOW ALSO BEGIN ATTEMPTED ATTACXS ON FORCES IN
              THE 50-60 KM ZOUE OF THE FORWARD AREA. USING MID-RANGE
              ARTILLERY. ASTRO'S MRLS AND FROGS. POSSIBLY AT SOME
              POINT WITH CHEMICAL MUNITIONS. THESE ARTILLERY AND
              ROCKET SPOILING ATTACKS WOULD BE INTENDED TO KEEP THE
              COALITION OFF BALANCE AND DISRUPT MILITARY OPERATIONS IN

              THE OPTION OF RAPID USE IN THE FUTURE. UNCONFIRMED
