Based upon known FOB's (Forward Operating Base)in Iraq, and the historical and intensity levels of enemy attacks, there is a high probability that FOB McKenzie (the former Samarra East-Al BakrAir Base) could bethe location of this attack.

FOB Mckenzie has recieved as many as 21 incoming rocket attacks in a single night.

A lesser possibility could be FOB Brassfield-Mora located 10 km north of Samarra.

Update:

Based upon analysis ofimagery obtained by NEIN as a courtesy of Archangel, as well as a reivew of known chemical weapons, apreliminary assessmentisthat theblack oily liquid seen in the MemriBlog.com images below could be the chemical weapon/blister agentLewisite. Iraq is known to have conducted research on lewisite.Lewisite is similar to mustard agent but faster acting and thepersistenceof thisblister agentis reported to be from 24 hours toone week.

According to the U.S. Department of Defense stores of Lewisite were not located in Iraq by weapons inspectors following the 1991 Gulf War.

However, on Friday, April 4, 2003, the 101st Airborne discovered 13 drums of suspectedchemical weapons in a bunkerat an agricultural facilityeast of Karbala.The 101st divisioncommander at the time,Brigadier General Benjamin Freakley, told media that the drums initially tested positive for nerve agent.

The following Monday, 7 April 2003,two 'Fox' nuclear, chemical and biological reconnaissance vehicles, armed withmore sophisticated sensors than the Improved Chemical Agent Monitor (ICAM) most likely utilized by the 101st in the intial determination, conducted additional testing and reportedly detected sarin, tabun and lewisite.
