9. THE FIGHTING HAS BEEN MARKED BY EXTREME BRUTALITY BY THE 
REGIME.  THEY HAVE USED ARTILLERY AS WELL AS HELICOPTER 
GUNSHIPS AGAINST CIVILIANS.                          USING 
CHEMICAL WEAPONS AGAINST CIVILIANS.  WE HAVE NO EVIDENCE 
THAT CW WERE USED AND WE ARE UNSURE WHETHER THE DECISION NOT 
TO USE THEM WAS PROMPTED BY A CHANGE IN THE TACTICAL 
SITUATION, OR BY THE DEMARCHES BY THE US AND OTHER 
COALITION GOVERNMENTS.  EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE NO EVIDENCE THAT 
CW WERE USED, THEY COULD HAVE BEEN.  REBELS ARE CLAIMING 
EXTENSIVE USE OF MUSTARD GAS AND ON MARCH 12 THERE WERE 
REPORTS THAT THE LOCAL COMMANDER IN KARBALA REQUESTED THE 
USE OF FROG MISSILES AGAINST THE REBELS.
