Thank you, I will read. From:

Incidents

    On 25 February 1991, a loss of significance in a MIM-104 Patriot
    missile battery prevented it from intercepting an incoming Scud
    missile in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, contributing to the death of 28
    soldiers from the U.S. Army's 14th Quartermaster Detachment.
