Iraq of its extant WMD and ballistic missile arsenal as well as its capability to produce new such weapons.

They were also convinced that the Iraqis had retained the know-how and probably much of the equipment they needed to rebuild their WMD and ballistic missile arsenals and to get back to work building nuclear weapons.

Finally, with European assistance, Iraq had achieved an important technological breakthrough, modifying its old Russian-made Scud ballistic missiles to more than double their normal range of three hundred kilometers, albeit with less accuracy and a lighter warhead.

In particular, the Arabs praised him for his creation of a powerful arsenal of ballistic missiles and WMD, which they hoped would allow Baghdad to champion Arab causes against Israel.

Iraq had held on to a secret stash of chemical and biological munitions along with more than forty modified Scud ballistic missiles.

Iraq has retained ballistic missiles, as well as chemical and biological warfare munitions.

In another shortsighted mistake, UNSC Resolution 687 allowed Iraq to retain ballistic missiles with ranges under 150 kilometers and to continue to perform research and development on such missiles.

As should have been anticipated, Iraq has used this loophole to maintain an active ballistic missile development program.

Under cover of performing research on the al-Samud and Ababil-100, Iraq has been able to keep all of its ballistic missile programs going unimpeded, including those on longer-range systems.

Iraq is likely to acquire intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of striking the United States within the next fifteen years.

Defense and Research Development Organization concluded they could only have been intended for chemical warfare and ballistic missile production.

The missile gyroscopes Iraq illegally acquired in 1995 came from Russian submarine-launched nuclear-armed ballistic missiles, which strongly suggests that the Russian government too has been at least cavalier about illegal arms exports to Iraq.

In the mid-1990s, the Iraqis were continuing to work on new biological and chemical agents and to refine their ballistic missile programs.

By 1987, Saddam was desperate and this desperation resulted in ever greater uses of chemical weapons and ballistic missiles.
