Original source unknown. This document was obtained by this writer in Saudi Arabia at the end of the 1991 Gulf War. This log lists 37 missiles against Israel, 44 against Saudi Arabia, and 2 elsewhere, for a total count of 83 missiles launched by Iraq. This contemporaneous record would now seem to show an under-count of at least ten and possibly as many as nineteen missiles. Three events occuring during the night of January 20th/21st 1991 are given as 'false alarms', as are five other later incidents.

[surge]Iraqi reporter interviewing different
'POWs' asking name, age... CNN:...aircraft, mission, and
opinions. Most are saying they disagree with what the US
has done attacking peaceful Iraq. CNN: It was reported
earlier that the 'pilots' (which is unconfirmed) look
subdued. One had a bandaged hand and 2 had bruised faces.
These are American POW's of the Iraqis. Actually they are
Allied POWs of the Iraqis. It appears the POWs are reading
or reciting a prepared script.
[flynn]Have any American officials confirmed that
any of our men have been captured?
[surge]One pilot reporting that Arabs should not
fight Arabs, we should pursue a peaceful end to the war.
Pilots do NOT sound relaxed. Very choppy speech. American
pilot says "I think war is crazy, it should never have
happened against peaceful Iraq.". Pilots also sending
messages to families that they are ok and being treated
well. Overall concensus by allied pilots is that they do
not agree with this war and it should be ended. Audio tape
over. CNN: Please realize these people are being held
captive and are not being allowed to speak freely. CNN:
Military person says that our people are taught not to say
the things that these men did, they believe that the POWs
have been somehow coersed into saying the things they did.
Sen.McCain believes that these POW's have definately been
physically mistreated into saying these things.

[surgecnn]They say one missle hit only a few miles
from Defense Ministry in Ryhad. Taped video shows missle
heading into clouds, then at least 2 flashes. Tape shows 3
missle launches. One flashes then something falls to city
and explodes... @ more launch, one hits something and
flashes, the 2nd flashes just behind the first. 2 more
launch that is. Re-hashing that CNN shouldn't say where
missles are hitting. Greg Lamont (sp?) over phone: Went

[swan]everything I'm going to read is coming from
various wire services. pardon line noise{{
[ari]only CNN and ITN journalists are staying in
Baghdad, all others were ordered to leave (CNN)
[nati]Tomorow many workers in Israel (but not all)
will resume work, in adition to those working in estencial
factorys which have be. working allso in the last several
days. Many workers continue to stay at home and schools are
still closed. Total number of injured in Israel from
missiles directly: 49. No deaths caused directly, but 8
died of hart atack/sufficaition. Several hundred
apartments damaged and over a hundred had to leave home.
[ari]scud alert again in Dhahran (CNN)
03:24?
[swan]despite dazzling video shots of 'smart
bombs' blasting iraqi targets, a pentagon analyst said only
40 percent of the bombs actually hit their targets; most of
saddam's air force was left intact. Only 11 of iraq's
estimated 700 aircraft have been. confirmed destroyed so
far. Many believed to be hidden in protective bunkers.
Some might have been wrecked in bunkers. Bush warned
americans not to expect short or easy war. (bush) 'we
must be realistic' 'there will be losses. war is never
cheap or easy. and I am somewhat concerned about the
inital euphoria in some of the reports and reactions to the
first day's developments'
[logserv]*** Iraqi Time is Mon 21, 3:30, Israel is one
hour behind.
[swan]US officials believe that Iraq possesses
about 30 mobile SCUD launchers. Estimates # of missiles at
between 300 and 1000. Reports indicate US may have
underestimated # of launchers. 'finding mobile launchers is
like finding a needle in a haystack'--sc. (that was
schwarzkopf theatre commander). In the next several days,
US commanders expect additional Scud attacks on Israeel and
Saudi Arabi and Iraqi attacks against US navy ships,
possibly using exocet missiles fired from helicopters,
pentagon told. congressional officials. Defense sec
cheney declared an "airlift emergency" ordering 20
commercial airlines to provide as many as 181 aircraft to
help ferry US war supplies and equipment to Middle east{i].
Gen William E Odom, headed National Security Agency from
85 to 88 said "i would be very surprised if we didn't have
50,000 or 100,000 troops there a year from now," (post war).
Various other govt. people cited saying that Saddam must
be overthrown. protesters in southern lebanon were heard
to be saying 'oh saddam, use gas! oh saddam, use chemicals!'
[ari]latest scud alert on Dhahran was false alert(CNN) (?)
(3:30/3:33 ?)
[swan](baghdad) shops,markets, restaurants closed
for past 48 hours. Electricity cut off, ruining food in
refrigerators. Residents fear grave difficulties getting
food. Most gas stations closed, hundreds of drivers
flocked to those with hand operated pumps
[logserv]*** Iraqi Time is Mon 21, 4:00, Israel is one
hour behind.
[swan]phone lines are cut, flow of tap water is
becoming weaker.
[ari]CNN reporting from Dhahran there were 3 scuds on
first attack tonight, 1 on last attack and all were
knocked down by patriot missiles. those scud were all
against Dhahran, maybe 6 scuds were againt Rhyad
Dhahran? If last attack was 00:44 - 00:50 (6? 3 x Dhahran?
+ 3 x Riyadh?) how come one only??? How come 6 x Riyadh???
[flynn]How does CNN explain the visible
detonations in their footage?
[ari]they're not sure about those detonations, now
CNN is showing a missile crater, not sure if it's scud-made
or landed patriot
[swan]for a change of pace here's a feed quoting
iraqi USA citizens. '...Yet in all the hundreds of hours of
television and radio coverage and in the thousands of pages
of newsprint, Iraqis say they have seen scarcely a word of
compassion for the plight of. their compatriots. "I find
it outrageous that nobody seems to care about the human
toll," said an iraqi professor in northern california who
would not give his name.
[ari]those pictures are from Riyadh, CNN says
there's also at least one other landed missile
[swan]"when the iraqi government sent those scud
missiles over to israel, there was so much talk about it,
which is understandable because of the media access to
israel. On the other hand, we have really had no concern
of civilian casualties because of the. bombing of baghdad.
' In place of sympathy, many iraq{s say they have received
threats and been intimidated. (examples given). Iraqi
quoted blames media and euphoric reporting of american air
success for much of bad feelings. 'I was on a job in LA
when the bombing started' 'my first reaction was I was in a
different country, I heard such tremendous nasty, sleezy,
manipulative. rhetoric on the airwaves that I really
didn't think I was in the United states. it was like some
fascist country I'd gone to.". 'like many of the estimated
75,000 iraqis in this country, Hadithy has no love for
Saddam Hussein. In fact, he fled Saddam's Ira{ because of
govt repression. -end. New York Times/NBC survey shows
that 86 percent of those interviewed approved of the way
Bush was doing his job. That is the highest rating for a
president in 30 years. Interviews w/sociologists,political
experts and other americans from across the. country say
rising support is linked to the nation's own sense of self
esteem, boosted by the allied force's apparent success in
early combat. (massive line noise,{ bear with me)g#
[flynn]Carl Sagan reports a global climate change
from a war.. 60 minutes carried a report on the
environmental impact of the war. Apparently Carl Sagan
reported that this war could cause massive enivronmental
damage, making Kuwait unlivable anyway. (Sorry -- I've no
more information on that.). Environmental change is
predicted from smoke from burning oil plants blocking out
the sun. Something akin to nuclear winter...
[logserv]*** Iraqi Time is Mon 21, 4:30, Israel is one

[swan]pentagon briefing! heck gotta run downstairs. okay.
here. all scuds that landed had conventional warheads.

in first attack, 9 shot down. 7 scuds in second attack,

17 total??/15 downed?? This is a much higher count than
any other official account to be found elsewhere.

Any quotes that might follow are from him or larry king.
[nati]False alarm in parts of northern Israel

[swan]iraqi ambassador claims 140 israeli planes
are participating in war for past 2 days. points out that
israel attacked iraqi nuclear reactor w/o provication.
iraqi ambassador says war started with american blockade.
'how do you feel about this sit.' I feel sad, seeing arabs
fighting arabs, seeing americans fighting arabs. Says
americans are basically decent people. Have received
encouragement from some. some american citizens. "you say
you hate seeing arabs fighting arabs, what about kuwait?"
(sorry missed response). (more larry king/iraqi amb. to
UN) security council is paralyzed by united states. We are
not going to make it a picnic for american army. Will
continue to make america rethink policy. We will never
surrender.
[nati](I am posting this once again:) If anybody
wants me to checkif missiles hit near ppl he knows in
Israel, send me a msg / e-mai
[swan]frankly I don't believe members of coalition
is doing so out of free will, they are forced by US.
Points out that country that voted no to a security council
vote was threatened. i believe america will have to
rethink their policy and negotiate [once they get bogged
down in bloody war w/us]. i thank cnn for allowing me to
