I don't think these scuds can really deliver NBC warheads very effectively based on the weight of the warhead in each missle. If hit by a patriot anti-missle they fall short and possibly don't work at all.
My concern is that the Iraqis will load them up as a dirty nuke. It won't matter if they are shot down or miss the target, damage is done and will spread in the summer winds.
The dirty nuke in a scud will work well against Kuwait or Isreal.
