Kuwait accuses Hezbollah of training Shias suspected of forming 'terror cell'
[DAWN] Kuwait has protested to Leb over the alleged training by Hezbollah of 21 Shias that were convicted on charges of forming a "terror cell" in the Sunni-majority emirate last month.It demanded that pressure be put on the Shia bully boy group, which has ministers in the Lebanese government, to ensure there was no repetition. The protest follows Kuwait's expulsion of 15 Iranian diplomats on Thursday over Tehran's alleged links to those convicted. The letter delivered by Kuwait's ambassador in Beirut late on Friday said the emirate's supreme court had found that "Hezbollah took part in contacts, coordinating meetings, paid funds and provided arms and military training in Leb" for the defendants. It called on Leb to take "necessary measures to curb these disgraceful practices" by Hezbollah as it is a partner in the government, ambassador Abdulaal al-Quenai told the official KUNA news agency. Unlike neighbouring Sunni powerhouse Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , Kuwait maintains diplomatic relations with Shia-majority Iran. Shias make up around one third of the emirate's population. However, there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly... sectarian issues remain sensitive. Posted by: Fred 2017-07-23 |
