MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: John J. Bird
National Intelligence Officer for Warning
SUBJECT: Repercussions of Allegations of US Intelligence
Support of Iraq
1. The recent London Times article stating that the US is providing
intelligence information to Iraq may well cause a strong Iranian
reaction, especially if Iran loses the on-going battle in the southern
border area, as seems likely.
2. The Iranian reaction will probably include terrorist attacks
against Americans and US interests, further heightening the threat
situation in the Mid East.
