Six acquitted of conspiracy
KUWAIT: The Criminal Court on Sunday acquitted six people of charges of working with a foreign country in order to undermine political status of the State of Kuwait and imposed a KD 2,000 fine on two of the defendants for unauthorized possession of arms and ammunition. Chaired by Justice AbdelSalam Al-Buaijan, the court issued a verdict acquitting Ahmad M., Nawaf M., Jaber J., Abdullah M., Musaed I., and Fares I. of the charges of "seeking at time of war to collaborate with a foreign state in order to damage the political stance of Kuwait." The court also set a fine of KD 2000 against Ahmad M. and Fares I. for unauthorized possession of arms and ammunition. Charge sheets noted that the defendants had trained on arms and attempted to kill Americans and monitor their movement. The defendants denied all charges.
