Kuwaiti cabinet approves new "strategy" to combat terror
KUWAIT CITY - Kuwait said on Sunday it has approved a new "strategy" to combat terrorism following gun battles with militants and vowed to crush terrorists. | I have a simple strategy for you, call on me, me, pick me ... |
The cabinet reviewed during its weekly session a "strategy to deal with the phenomenon of terrorism and extremist ideology," prepared by Kuwait's National Security Council, an official statement said, without giving details. "The cabinet asked the council to ... coordinate with other concerned authorities to formulate practical programmes necessary to combat the ideology of extremism and violence at all levels with the aim to uproot this scourge." | You could call it, "killing terrorists". |
The cabinet also approved the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism and referred it to Emir Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Al Sabah before sending it to parliament for endorsement. The treaty was adopted by the UN General Assembly in December 1999 in a bid to drain sources of funding terrorists. Interior Minister Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Sabah said the number of terrorists being hunted by Kuwaiti security forces was "small" and would be crushed. "The gang of terrorists is small and will be wiped out completely ... Criminals and wanted men will not escape the hand of justice," the minister told the state KUNA news agency. | He seems to have the right idea. |
He said security forces were still hunting for Mohsen Al Fadhli and Khaled Al Dosari, the two most wanted men who have been at large for months and whose names re-emerged after the latest clashes. Local media and everyone else have linked the two with the Al-Qaeda network and Saudi militants. Islamic Affairs Minister Abdullah Al Maatuk on Sunday formed a panel of religious scholars and academics with a mission to "strengthen moderate (Islamic) ideology and confront extremism". | They've also established a dancing school for dogs. |
