http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/03/28/sprj.irq.war.main/index.html KUWAIT CITY (CNN) -- An explosion struck a shopping mall in the center of Kuwait City early Saturday. Some early reports from Kuwaiti officials indicated the explosion may have been from a missile. No warning sirens alerted residents. Smoke billowed from the sky afterward. There was no word on deaths or injuries. About a dozen missiles have been launched from Iraq toward Kuwait in the past week, but most have been knocked out of the sky by Patriot missiles. Two landed in rural areas without causing any injuries. Earlier, explosions also rocked central Baghdad where it appeared Iraq's Information Ministry may have been hit, and several large blasts were reported in the northern city of Mosul late Friday. In Washington Friday, U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld issued a warning to Syria, saying it would be held accountable for shipments of military equipment -- including night-vision goggles -- that have been moved across the border into Iraq. The Pentagon does not want "neighboring countries or anyone else" to be assisting the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein, Rumsfeld told reporters at a Pentagon briefing. "These deliveries pose a direct threat to the lives of coalition forces. We consider such trafficking as hostile acts and will hold the Syrian government accountable for such shipments," Rumsfeld said. In Damascus, Syrian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said Rumsfeld's claim was "absolutely unfounded." (Full story) Rumsfeld also warned any country against sending any "military forces, intelligence personnel or proxies" into Iraq that are not under the control of Gen. Tommy Franks, chief of the U.S. Central Command. The secretary specifically mentioned the Badr Corps, troops "trained, equipped and directed by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard." Rumsfeld said Badr Corps troops would be considered "combatants" and said the coalition "would hold the Iranian government responsible for their actions."
Apparantly, it was a Chinese made Silkworm anti-ship surface to surface missle. One person wounded, nobody killed.
