MIKE CHINOY, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): It was shortly after dark when the air-raid alarm sounded in eastern Saudi Arabia, an incoming Iraqi Scud. The U.S. Central Command says it broke up in flight, the debris scored a direct hit on a building housing over 100 American servicemen.</s>CARL ROCHELLE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: We had the actual footage of this missile streaking across the sky and going down and hitting in that area, and you could see the secondary explosion, the blast as it set off things on the ground when it hit.</s>CHINOY (voice-over): The building was very, very badly damaged. Some eyewitnesses say, it was almost totally destroyed.</s>ROCHELLE: All hell broke loose. Police were going, fire units were going down in the area. We tried to get in. We got as close as we could to the area to see what was happening down there.</s>CHINOY: This is clearly the most serious Scud attack here in Saudi Arabia since the start of the war.</s>ROCHELLE: It's the only instance that I know of during the entire conflict that Americans were hit and killed by one of the Scud missiles.
