1/9/1996

“General Wafiq al Sammarai, who headed Iraqi military intelligence during the Gulf War, said in an interview [with Frontline on PBS on January 9, 1996] that some of the Iraqi’s Scud missiles had been loaded with chemical warheads, but they were not used, ‘because the warning was quite severe and quite effective. The allied troops were certain to use nuclear arms and the price will be too dear and too high.’ ”
