They make pinpoint
targeting possible, but their
small number and high cost
inhibits widespread use.
If Israel finds itself at an
overwhelming missile
disadvantage and unable to
achieve a quick victory, on
which its defensive doctrine
is based, "the temptation to
go up one notch will be
tremendous."
"Israel may fire one, two
or three missiles with con-
ventional warheads, but not
20," said the source. "Iraq is
much richer than Israel and
it has hundreds of missiles.
We don't."
According to Dr. Danny
Leshem, of Tel Aviv Univer-
sity's Center for Strategic
Studies, Saddam is likely to
launch "a heavy missile at-
tack" on Israel in the open-
ing stages of a war because
he fears that Israel will at-
tempt to destroy his missile-
launch sites.
He noted that the missile
launchers are not concen-
trated in one particular
area, but have been dispers-
ed throughout western Iraq
to "make it difficult for the
Israeli Air Force to carry out
a search-and-destroy mis-
sion."
"A large number of mis-
sile-launchers in western
Iraq will enable the Iraqis to
launch dozens of missiles at
Israel within a short time."
However, it will not only
be Iraq's missile-launch sites
that are caught in the cross-
hairs of Israel's fighter and
bomber aircraft if it comes to
war between the two coun-
tries.
Other targets will include
the Samarra complex, north-
west of Baghdad, where
Iraq's chemical stockpile is
assembled, and the Salman
Pak research installation,
south-east of Baghdad,
where Iraqi scientists are
developing biological
weapons based on cholera,
anthrax and typhoid.
The main target of Israel's
attack, however, will be
Iraq's research installations,
where work on the develop-
ment of nuclear weapons is
far more advanced than had
previously been thought
likely by Western intel-
ligence agencies.
This week it was revealed
that Iraq has constructed a
desert installation,
codenamed Factory 10, for

tial for making nuclear
weapons. It has also built a
uranium-enrichment labora-
tory on the outskirts of
Baghdad.
Estimates based on this
latest information has led
scientists to conclude that
Iraq may be in a position to
produce its own nuclear
weapons within the coming
year, despite the UN trade
embargo and without any
further technical assistance
from abroad.
It is an irony of extraor-
dinary proportions that the
site of Factory 10, the plant
which is providing the key to
Iraq's nuclear potential, lies
between the Tigris and
Euphrates rivers — at
precisely the spot where the
biblical Garden of Eden is
believed to have been
located. ❑

German Jews Protest
Quota On USSR Emigres
Bonn (JTA) — Germany's
Jewish community has
assailed a high-level agree-
ment to place a quota on the
number of Soviet Jews ad-
mitted to the country.
Its chairman, Heinz Galin-
ski, said a decision to set a
ceiling on Soviet Jewish
immigrants, reportedly
reached last weekend in
Dresden at a meeting of the
interior ministers of the 16
federal states, ignored Ger-
many's historic obligations,
as well as the fact that Jews
were persecuted in the
Soviet Union.
The official Jewish corn-
munity is pressing for an
"open door" policy for Soviet
Jews who want to immigrate
to Germany.
The ministers reportedly
agreed in principle,
however, that free immigra-
tion would be allowed only to
Jews of German origin.
The entry of others would
be subject to a still undefin-
ed ceiling.
The 35,000-member Jew-
ish community has mounted
a vigorous campaign for the
free entry of Soviet Jews. It
argues that Germany is
morally bound to accept
Jews fleeing persecution.
