Here's an interesting old piece from the Guardian...the main point of the article was the Scuds that were flying about...at least what the Coalition initially reported as Scuds....but way down in the article are the following pars.

The [Kuwait] government said months ago that it was buying gas masks for most of its 2.4 million people, but it changed course after consulting with its allies and instead distributed a few thousand masks to police, oil and aid workers.

The deputy prime minister, Sheik Sabah Al Ahmed Al Sabah, recently said that he was not going to use a gas mask.

The allies were so concerned about Iraq using chemical and biological weapons that they told Kuwait they didn't need to protect their population. Pretty nifty.
