ANNEX R

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS POSED BY UNSCOM 9 ON CHEMICAL AGENTS 
AND SYNTHETIC PROCESSES

120
WHY WAS THE ORIGINAL DECLARATION OF 155-MM MUSTARD SHELLS 
SO INCOMPLETE?

A: THE DECLARATION FOR KHAMISIYAH WAS NOT MADE UNTIL AFTER 
18 APRIL BECAUSE ON 18 APRIL KHAMISIYAH WAS STILL IN THE HANDS 
OF THE COALITION FORCES. WE DID NOT KNOW UNTIL AFTER THEIR 
WITHDRAWAL HOW MANY MUSTARD GAS SHELLS HAD BEEN LEFT THERE, IF ANY.

(COMMENT: EVEN IF CORRECT, THIS DOESN'T, OF COURSE, ANSWER 
THE QUESTION IN RELATION OF THE MUSTARD SHELLS AT FALLUJAH)
