WARNING: INFORMATION REPORT, NOT FINALLY EVALUATED INTELLIGENCE.







DIST:        JULY 1991



COUNTRY: IRAQ



SUBJ:  1. MILITARY DEVELOPMENTS IN IRAQ;







DOI:          1991







AN

INVENTORY OF CHEMICAL WARHEADS WAS RETAINED BY IRAQ;          







AT THE TIME OF THE GULF CONFLICT, IRAQ HAD NOT YET DEVELOPED A

MISSILE DELIVERY CAPABILITY FOR ITS CHEMICAL WEAPONS. ANOTHER FACTOR

WHICH AFFECTED SADDAM'S DECISION NOT TO USE CHEMICAL WEAPONS IN ANY

FORM DURING THE WAR WAS THE IRAQI MILITARYS INABILITY TO DEFEND

ITSELF AGAINST A CHEMICAL COUNTERATTACK.
