               K. BELGIUM WILL SEND TWO MINE HUNTING SHIPS INTO THE
            PERSIAN GULF AS WELL AS A COMMAND SHIP AFTER SEVERAL
            REPORTS INDICATED AN UNIDENTIFIED SHIP MAXINO SUSPICIOUS
            MOVES NEAR BUBYAN ISLAND AND FURTHER SOUTH IN THE PERSIAN
            GULF. SOME EXPERTS FEEL THAT IRAQ IS MINING THE GULF AS
            THEY DID DURING THE IRAN/IRAQ WAR. SOME OF THOSE MINES LAID
            MORE THAN TWO YEARS AGO REMAIN TO BE FOUND.

            ATTACKS FROM THERE INTO SOUTHERN SAUDI ARABIA AND THE RED

            ACCURATE. IT WOULD GIVE HUSSEIN THE CAPABILITY TO RANGE ALL

            CITIES, AND AIRPORTS.
