3.	During the Iran-Iraq war artillery projectiles filled with a 
Sarin-Mustard mixture were deployed and used. Consequently, ~cocktails~ of 
this type can be expected in any combat operation which Baghdad elects to 
use chemical weapons. Binary munitions, if available, would most likely be 
found in the Al Abbas missile. DIA has no information on V-type agent 
production and the filling of munitions with this agent.

Iraqi BW agents are anthrax, botulinum toxin, and tularemia.
