3 Kuwaitis Detained in Terror Plot
Three Kuwaitis have been detained on suspicion of planning terrorist attacks on U.S. forces in Kuwait, the Interior Ministry announced Monday. The three were found with weapons and ammunition, the ministry said. It did not say when the men were detained or if they had been charged. The ministry identified the three as Ahmed Mutlaq al-Mutairi, 29, Abdullah Mutlaq al-Mutairi, 32, Musaed Horan al-Enezi, 28. It said the men were suspected of planning terrorist attacks on American forces based in Kuwait ahead of a possible U.S.-led attack on neighboring Iraq. The arrests follow a series of attacks on American soldiers and civilians in Kuwait and come as U.S. military forces mass here for a possible war to topple Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. The longer our troops are massed there, the more risk there is of a terror attack. Posted by: Steve 2003-02-24 |
