As for the SCUDS, they launched a SCUD into Kuwait during the war, if you remember, there were causalties, it hit a shopping Mall. The information minister denied it was fired from iraq and didn't know how it got into the mall (not joking, I'm serious).

I think they identified that missle as the Iraqi variant of the Chinese silkworm.

Its possible, I remember them saying it was a scud, at least on that night, and for a few days, it might have eventually been identified as a silkworm later on.
