Approved For Release 2003/04/1RDP96-007898002500170003-4 DATA SUMMARIES (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Following are the perceived highlights from each source. The period covered is 15-20 September 1993. - (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Source (Green Data): -- Warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid is still traveling in a southern direction. He is located in the middle (central) Somalia and is moving in a southern direction. He travels with some armed guards around him who he trusts and will not be found anywhere near the sea. This individual is known to operate on his own accord and lines of communications available to him are a select :Eew messengers (senders) who respond to him on a daily basis to keep him informed of downtown political activities. -- The warlord will not be found downtown Mogadishu. He is not .in a particular structure at a fixed location because he does not stay at any one place for more than a few days. See attached map (Green Data) for the vicinity of his current probable location. Two items in the area he is at are a large metal object as sketched (see diagram, page 1a) and monkeys (could be statues or murals, etc). -- Warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid will not be apprehended for a while.

The following attributes are associated with this location: -- A flat, dusty area bordered by a curved wall along one edge and a straight wall along another edge (see diagram 1, page 3a). These two walls intersect. There is an object reminiscent of a tower which sits within the level area. -- The "tower" object (see diagram 2a, page 3b) has a large, cylindrically shaped tank-like feature on top. There is a wooden plank platform which sits a short distance below the tank. -- This location is associated with water. There is also a strong odor which smells like dried fish. -- There is a structure which occurs nearby and on the same side of the street/road of the wall-tower feature mentioned above. This structure give strong impressions of having had two functions: "a hanger converted into a warehouse" or "a warehouse which has been converted into a hanger". -- A twin engine aircraft is stored within this structure (see diagram 2b, page 3b). It has been "civilized"; that is, a military aircraft converted into a civilian aircraft. It has what seems to be overly large engines about mid-wing. The wings appear to go through the middle of the engines. - The mode of travel by which the target is moving is via an open bed truck which is used to transport large, flat pieces of rock or stone (see diagram 3, page 3c). This truck has the following associated with it: -- There is a hidden compartment in the bed. It is camouflaged by the large flat rocks which the truck routinely transports. This compartment is being used to hide "combat" related objects: hard, metal tubes and large amounts of similarly shaped objects reminiscent of large ammo or projectiles. -- This truck has a second distinctive feature: a green metal/wood tool or storage box which sits at the front of the cargo bed section. -- This truck is bringing these large, flat pieces of rock or stone into the city of Mogadishu.

The rock is taken from the sidE~ of the foothills rather than "up" from the ground. -- One can see this area (reminiscent of a quarry) with binoculars from Mogadishu. -- There is a "stop" between the location where the rock is takeiz from the earth and Mogadishu where weapons/ammo are placed in the compartment. -- The wall-tower location, the structure containing the aircraft and the weapon/ammo "loading" point are all within the same vicinity of each other. - The target is protected...more like "warned" or alerted to patrols in his general vicinity by a flock of goats. The warning signal is the presence of a single black goat within a group or flock of white goats. - Additionally, seemingly unrelated, objects as depicted on (diagram 4, page 3d). No relationship with the aforementioned could be ascertained.

Target personality plans to travel in a northwesterly direction to the area know as Djibouti (annotated map - Red Data). -- Target personality is traveling with younger men who are protecting him. Target personality is highly protected by these men. The men immediately surrounding him are dressed like nomads and they are traveling by very "unsophisticated means". The target personality and these men will be in the desert or mountains. They will not go near cities. The reason for this is that they know and understand "desert" warfare. -- Others, however, are protecting the target personality from a distance. These men are using more sophisticated means of transportation and are communicating to target personality by means of "intercom". -- The system that is being used to protect this man is like a "Command and Control" headquarters. -- German intelligence will help find this man.
