Just added to the article:

Several of these missiles were fired by Iraq at advancing US forces and into Kuwait, although they produced few casualties. Some reports erroneously referred to the Al-Samoud missiles that hit Kuwait as "Scuds," due to the frequent use of those during the Gulf War.

The sources I've been able to dig up ([1], [2], [3]) are all much more noncomittal about exactly what types of missile were fired at Kuwait, mentioning Al Samoud 2 as just one possibility among several. this one appears to be the most recent and complete source and only lists Al Samoud missiles, not the longer-ranged second version. Does anyone know of a more solid source for Al-Samoud 2 usage in the war? Lacking that I'll add these uncertainties to the article. Bryan 03:38, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] B-class

More ciations are needed, at least one in each section, before I can admit this article as a B-class. Looks good though, keep up the good work. TomStar81 (Talk) 19:37, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
