German intelligence reports that Iraq has a working missile factory at Al Mamoun, about 40km southwest of Baghdad. About 250 technicians are working on the Ababil-100 missile, which has a range of150km which complies with the Security Council resolutions that ended the Gulf War. Iraq is trying (according to the German BND) to develop a missile with a range of 3,000km, enough to reach Germany.--Stephen V Cole
