Terror suspect dies in custody
 THE leader of a cell that allegedly plotted to kidnap US soldiers and other Westerners in Kuwait has died overnight in custody, Kuwaiti security sources said. "Amer Khleif al-Enezi died last night," a source said. Kuwaiti daily al-Qabas reported on its website that Enezi died after suffering a heart attack.The paper reported he had been questioned by prosecutors before suffering health problems that led doctors to check on him. Enezi was detained on January 31 with five of his supporters after a nine-hour firefight with security forces in which four gunmen were killed. Enezi was believed to be the leader of a cell of militants that allegedly plotted to kidnap US soldiers and other Westerners and film their executions, and carry out attacks on US military convoys heading for Iraq. Security forces have fought gunbattles with al-Qaeda-linked Islamist gunmen killing eight of them and capturing at least 14 others over the past month. Four police officers were also killed and 10 others wounded.
