So the only recorded use of this missile in combat ended up with it blowing up a maternity ward? Ouch. The team that designed this must have trouble sleeping. -Toptomcat 18:42, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

This may be a bit of a late reply, but still... The "sole" use that it mentiones appears to be copied directly from fas.org/GlobalSecurity, which in turn sources an article called "Missile Terror" by Bill Gertz and Rowan Scarborough. And, first of all, even they claim that there were a lot more combat launces (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=18125) but also their articles seem like short propaganda pamphlets which are not sourced at all, and are written in a highly biased and emotional tone so I'd take them with a grain of salt.
