EXPERTS are examining suspected Scud missiles discovered by British soldiers searching a chemical plant outside Basra.

A number of the grey-painted rockets, about 23ft long, were found in the Dirhamiyah petro-chemical plant close to Iraq’s second city.

Hmm... If they're only 23ft long, they're not Scuds. I haven't measured one personally, but they're at least 40-50 feet long.

SCUD-B is 10.25 meters long (aprox 33 feet).

So what's your best guess as to why missiles of any length were found at a "chemical plant"?
