SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
TASKING:
"Show indicators which will preceed an attack of Iraqi forces
against US and allied forces.
Indicate location of attack. "
1.
There was a strong impression that there will not be a premptive strike
on US and allied forces.
Further tasking myself with "indicators, if so",
the following indicators were perceived:
a.
Hussein is alerted that there is a weather prediction of strong
rainstorms to the south (where US and allied forces are located) but not in
the north (where Iraqi forces are located) .
These storms are approximately
3-5 days away.
b.
An east-to-west movement of Iraqi heavy equipment occurs in
northern Kuwait (see attached map, point A) .
C.
Within a 1-3 day period:
1)
Hussein appears on Iraqi TV with a stately woman who is
wearing black (or dark charcoal) clothing.
2)
An announcement is made (possibly as a result of the meeting
with the woman), that there is a "stand-down".
2.
Almost immediately (within hours) after the announcement of the
"stand-down", and less than 1 day before the heavy rains come, the first
stage of an attack is launched.
a.
The first stage of the attack is with missiles and artillery.
This is timed to allow the US and allied troups to get spread out across
the desert just as the heavy rains begin.
b.
Hussein's front line troups and equipment stay in place, without
advancing.
C.
US & allied planes begin to attack Iraq, and find that there are
weapons in Hussein's arsenals which can make planes and missiles "drop like
rocks".
d.
Once the US troups are spread out in the desert and stalled by

rain, Iraqi forces in Kuwait attack toward the southwest (see point B on
map), heading across the desert, rather than down the coast, thinking that
they want to keep the war "on their own kind of turf". This is a mistake
on their part.
3.
There were strong impressions that the Iraqis have at least two very
special weapons.
One, mentioned above, "locks up" up mechanical devices.
It
causes loss of missile guidance, and planes "freeze" up and "drop like
rocks from the sky". For some reason, this weapon does not work as well
against ground troups.
b.
Another special weapon is presently buried in the sand (btb
somewhere in northern Kuwait: point C on map), and can be brought out for
use.
It gave strong impressions of being some kind of a particle-beam
weapon.
