However, Leone claims the Iraqis themselves destroyed the facility in a cover-up exercise. Asked by Roberts to analyse the visible evidence, Bhupendra Jasani, a visiting Professor at King's College, London, and an international expert in the use of remote sensing for arms control verification, quickly spotted the tunnel described by Leone and Abbas Jannabi. 4km in length and 400 metres in width, it stretches under Lake Rezzaza.
Roads lead from a railway to the shaft entrance - a huge rectangular structure.
The infrastructure is certainly consistent with test activity. You require storage sites, vehicle activities, communications systems like the train, railway tracks and roadworks. All of those things you can certainly see on the images. Those above and right show one of two military installations near the tunnel entrance. Jasani's interpretation is that the round domes are consistent with SCUD silos and are ringed by what appear to be anti-aircraft positions.
