Kuwait arrests al-Qaida linked group
Kuwaiti authorities said Tuesday they have arrested an al-Qaida-linked group allegedly planning to attack a U.S. military base in the small oil-rich state.
The Interior Ministry said in a brief statement that State Security has detained a "terrorist network" of six Kuwaitis who gave "detailed confessions" about plans to attack Camp Arifjan, the main U.S. base in the country, as well as the headquarters of the country's security agency, in addition to other facilities it did not name.
