The documents mention the use of 30 vehicles that can carry 35 tonnes load.

Iraq had decon units available and Powell's speech to the UN indicated that they used them, at least some of the time. The further you proceed down that logical branch, the more likely the transport vehicles you note were moving inert casings. If this was an Iraq-wide operation, then orders to other special stockpiles routing through Dijla are worth searching for.

Moving in the other direction, the more you lean towards this being an order to transport active munitions, the more likely movement orders exist ordering similar transport from An Najaf to other commands.

Good news either way.

Keep up the excellent work.

A good gentleman sent me an e-mail from Collin Powell presentation to the UN back in February 2003 where there is a picture that shows similar type of transportation vehicles (35 tons loads) appearing in a suspected Chemical Site AL Mussayeb (or AL Musayyib) that was also mentioned in this top secret memo.

Mr. JT, thank you for the information.
