Missiles fired at Kuwait had no chem/bio agents -TV

KUWAIT, March 20 (Reuters) - Two missiles that hit Kuwait on Thursday were not carrying unconventional material, Kuwait state television reported.

An interior ministry official confirmed to Reuters that investigations so far had shown the missiles were not carrying chemical or biological materials. There were no immediate reports of injuries in the missile strikes, which hit near the Mutlaa Ridge area north of the town of Jahra.

"It looks like a Chinese-made surface-to-surface missile, porobably fired from (Iraq's) al-Faw peninsula," a Kuwaiti defence official said. "It seems they were trying to hit the American camp at Doha but missed," he added, referring to a large U.S.-run military facility north of Kuwait City.

Now we know why the Red Chinese opposed the war and urged us to wrap it up ASAP.

He may be referring to Doha, Qatar. Is there a Doha in Kuwait?
