Around 16 mobile ones have been neutralised. NBC: US encouraged by the fact that no chemical warheads have been used in attacks on Israel. NBC: One more US aircraft-carrier going to area to protect Israel Officials in Israel are now thinking wether to order ppl to go down to shelters or into sealed rooms when thre is an alarm (NBC "Meet The Press" is showing interview with General Schwarzkopf, Gulf Allied commander) Exact locaitions are not revield on Israely radio either. I know this info from what I, and my friends, saw in the Haifa area. The missiles contained 200-250 kg warheads. The creaters were 2 meters deep and several meters wide Earlier they said that Israel feared that if location reports got back to Iraq, they could adjust their SCUDs and fire them more accurately next time.
