Officials say Iraq preparing to destroy own fields
U S intelligence officials warn Iraq plans to wreck oil fields food stocks and power plants to trigger a humanitarian crisis and sway opinion against war. They say Saddam may use chemical and biological weapons if pressed and could target U S forces Israel and Kuwait, with limited evidence of stockpiles and nuclear programs. The multi layer defense centering on Baghdad is seen as resilient but the army, under 300000 troops, is war weary and vulnerable to a rapid U S assault.
