It was a Chinese Silkworm (low flying cruise type missle) I believe. Not sure if those were banned weapons or not.

The scuds were banned, the silkworm was banned. Any missile in Saddam's arsenal that could fly beyond 92 miles was banned. The bottom line is, Saddam simply could not be trusted to comply to any sanction put forth in front of him.

I stand corrected, it was a Silkworm, but Saddam had used Scuds as far back as Gulf I, lobbing a few toward Israel while we were pounding Saddam from the air.
