IRAQ OBTAINS FAST RUBBER BOATS FOR SUICIDE OPERATIONS LONDON [MENL] -- Iraq has procured inflatable motorized boats from the former Yugoslavia for suicide missions against U.S. and allied forces in the Persian Gulf. Western intelligence sources identified the vessels as Zodiac-class boats procured from companies in the Balkans. The sources said the boats were purchased by Syria and smuggled into Iraq for use by a new suicide unit formed by the regime of President Saddam Hussein. 'The procurement of the boat marks a strategy by Saddam to use suicide operations as a major tool against U.S. troops," a senior intelligence source said. "The Republican Guard has been ordered to stress the formation of a range of suicide units, including those of ground forces." Iraq, the sources said, seek to obtain at least 100 such boats for suicide and sabotage operations against U.S. warships. It is unclear how many boats have already arrived in Iraq.
