Beirut Daily Star sez radical Islam partially due to Kuwaiti government
Kuwait is facing its most crucial test since liberation from the Iraqi invasion in 1991. From militant attacks on U.S. military personnel during the build-up to the war on Iraq to the latest arrest of extremists in January, which revealed plans to target state security agency headquarters and oil facilities, the extremists appear to be executing an agenda of taking Kuwait down the road to instability.It is not surprising that terrorism, which has plagued Saudi Arabia recently, has also reared its ugly head in Kuwait. In fact, Kuwait has inherent conditions that encourage terrorism - not just the presence of 30,000 U.S. troops on its soil or its geographic proximity to Iraq and Saudi Arabia, but also the influence of Islamists in Kuwaiti society and the Parliament.
