[0:13] You are watching CBS News continuing
[0:15] coverage of Showdown in the Gulf. From
[0:18] CBS News headquarters in New York, here
[0:20] is Dan Rather.
[0:23] >> New complications in the war, new
[0:25] developments unfolding. Let's go to Tel
[0:27] Aviv and Tom Fenton to get the latest on
[0:29] the Iraqi Stud missile attack against
[0:32] Israel. Tom,
[0:33] >> Dan, I've got two new reports as the
[0:36] bureau people here continue to work the
[0:37] telephones. One is that at the Tel Bar
[0:39] junction, that's a major road junction
[0:42] about 5 miles north of Tel Aviv, very

[1:03] eyewitness report from there of
[1:05] buildings burning, buildings destroyed,
[1:06] and people running in panic and no sign
[1:08] of the rescue services. That would sound
[1:11] like that was a conventional warhead.
[1:13] Now, that raises the possibility since
[1:14] we uh we have several different
[1:17] indications now that perhaps a mixture
[1:19] of warheads was fired. But I must
[1:22] emphasize that we have no confirmed
[1:23] reports at all that non-conventional
[1:25] warheads have been used. Just these
[1:27] reports and we will try to report only
[1:30] things that we have from eyewitnesses or
[1:32] from officials or that we hear on the
[1:34] official radio. We're trying to stay
[1:36] away from rumors. Dan
[1:37] >> Tom uh Israeli radio monitored uh by
