        DATA SUMMARIES
             (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Following are perceived highlights from
        each source. The period covered is 3-4 November 1993.
        - (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) source A:
             -- weapons and munitions in Somalia are coming from North
        Africa. There have been arms, etc., throughout this region for a
        long tine and weapons are easily accessible.
        - (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Source B:
             -- The two major factions are basically "set" as far as
        weapons are concerned. They (especially Aideed's group) are
        relying on confiscated armaments (i.e. weapons, and particularly
        ammo) to restock. They both currently have sufficient stores.
             -- Hand grenades are going to become a significant weapon
        of choice if the U.N.IU.S. forces reinitiate.patrolling and
        active monitoring of the situation within the streets of
        Mogadishu.
             -- A pipeline or conduit will be sabotaged. This will
        interrupt an important asset to the U.N. effort.
        - (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Source C:
             -- The country of Afghanistan is currently supplying
        weapons and munitions to Somalia. Some of the weapons and
        munitions are entering Somalia through waterways by small
        vessels. once the crates of weapons and munitions reach the
        country, they are carried by "simple means" to isolated areas of
        the country for use by insurgents. ("Simple means" could imply
        donkeys).
