Saddam to use suicide pilots against U.S.? Iraqi President Saddam Hussein believes he has figured out a way to respond to a U.S. military invasion expected this summer: suicide attacks by Iraqi pilots with aircraft filled with chemical and biological weapons. Western intelligence sources said Saddam has been bolstering his air force and elite units to carry out suicide missions against U.S., Kuwaiti and Israeli targets. Saddam has concluded that Iraq could never defend against an American onslaught. The best defense is a lethal offense built on Iraq's arsenal of weapons of mass destruction. The sources said Western intelligence agencies in both the Middle East and the West raise the following scenario: Iraqi missiles tipped with chemical and biological weapons are fired toward Israel and Kuwait. Iraq has about 50 Al Hussein missiles with a range of 400 kilometers. But this is a hit-and-miss prospect. The missiles are old and the launchers are creaky. U.S. satellites are closely monitoring Iraq for any appearance of these weapons. As a result, Saddam is preparing suicide pilots. The sources said they are being trained on Russian MiG-29 and Su-24 fighter jets to fly below radar level through Jordan and into Israel or through southern Iraq and into Kuwait. These missions would identify strategic targets in the Persian Gulf and Israel. The key Israeli target would be the nuclear reactor at Dimona. worldnetdaily.com
