    Interesting that they have made conclusions on the type of missile before inspeecting the debris.

    US and Kuwait say Iraq has fired Scud missiles
    Last updated: 20-03-03, 12:13

    Iraq has fired up to five Scud missiles at Kuwait, US and Kuwaiti officials have said, prompting troops to don chemical protective suits and setting emergency air raid sirens blaring in Kuwait City.

    ...

    Iraq, however, has denied the claim saying the country does not possess any Scuds.

    ...

    "One (Scud) was knocked by a Patriot system. Where the debris landed I'm not sure. The debris is being investigated at this moment. What we can say is there are no casualties," said the spokesman at a US-British military headquarters in Qatar.

    BTW the Irish Times have a "War In Iraq Special (Free Access)"

    KUWAIT CITY, Kuwait (CNN) -- U.S. Patriot missiles knocked two Iraqi missiles out of the sky on Thursday, hours after two others landed without injury near the U.S. forces' main logistics center in the Kuwaiti desert, the military said.

    U.S. and Kuwaiti sources initially reported all the missiles as Scuds, but the Pentagon later said it believes they were al Samouds or some other type of missile.
