WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The movement of trucks and missiles inside Iraq has U.S. officials wondering if the nation is preparing for a U.S. military action, sources have told CNN.

On Wednesday, sources said, a convoy of trucks moved into what the United States suspects to be an Iraqi biological weapons facility, raising concerns about what new activity might be taking place there.

On Tuesday, officials also learned that Iraq has relocated dozens of surface-to-air missiles and launchers around central Iraq, possibly to evade what Baghdad believes may be an imminent U.S. air attack, sources said.

The convoy, observed by spy satellites, entered a plant compound near Baghdad in the town of Taji, said officials. The site was bombed by U.S. planes during the 1991 Persian Gulf War, but was rebuilt and subsequently visited by United Nations weapons inspectors.

The Iraqis have said it is a meat processing plant.
