There's a picture of the type of rocket used in the attack on the
al-Rashid hotel where Wolfowitz was staying:

Just from the picture you can tell that the length to diameter ratio
of the rocket is 11:1. It's known that the "aluminum tubes" of
centrifuge infamy had the dimensions 81 x 900 mm, which matches the
size of the pictured rocket quite well.

It's generally accepted now that those tubes where actually intended
for helicopter fired rocket casings.

It's not a huge jump from the data to conclude that the rockets used
in yesterday's attack where in fact the knock offs of the Italian
Medusa-81 that Iraq was producing.

It's a dark piece of irony, but you have to assume that it was known
that Wolfowitz was in the hotel and the rocket was specifically chosen
to reopen old wounds and cause Wolfowitz some political discomfiture.
