	00-58 Al Muthanna
		Al Muthanna housed several facilities used in the research, development, production, and storage of chemical warfare agents.
		Since the Al Muthanna incident would have been a brief, one-time exposure, we used the GPL for short-term exposure to plot the possible hazard area.
		The closest U.S. forces were 412 kilometers from Al Muthanna and 388 kilometers south of the nearest point of the downwind hazard area and, therefore, safe from any possible exposure risk resulting from the bunker attack.
