The scud shipment is legal, but the containers quite well concealed, and on a phantom vessel. The Yemeni having no possible use for them, your bet stands correct.

Now let's examine to whom it could be shipped:

Egypt already has its load of missiles.
Libya has no use for such short range missiles.
Irak, via Jordan: I'd doubt the Jordanians would ok this at this time.
Lebanon ? Too visible, and no infrastructure for concealing their existence.

That leaves Syria.
Or Irak via a Syrian harbor... after the inspectors finish their job of course.
