Fox - Adam Hously in Kuwait City reporting that the missile was a SeerSucker, not a Silkworm. They're similar. 11 Fetaheen fighters caught trying to sneak into Kuwait to blow up targets. They have confessed as much.

Very interesting....thanks for posting this info; I didn't know this.....when were they caught? Tonight? I've heard nothing about this.

I believe it was overnight. Fox just broke the story a few moments before I posted the info.

The Seersucker, HY-2, is a coast-to-ship defensive tactical missile weapon system.

After the missile is fired, ground guidance and control are not necessary. The firing position also remains concealed.

Maximum effective range is 95 km at high sub-sonic speed.
