| Soldier shooter ’baffled by crime’ |
| 2002-12-10 |
| A KUWAITI police sergeant who shot and seriously injured two US soldiers has told a judge he "loves Americans" and did not know why he committed the crime. Khaled al-Shimmiri made the comment during a bail hearing at which the judge ordered him held for two more weeks and to undergo a psychiatric examination. Al-Shimmiri was said to have suffered mental illness. Detention hearings are closed to reporters and details were provided by al-Shimmiri's lawyer Nawwaf al-Mutairi. "He said Americans are our friends and loved ones and that he shot the soldiers but he doesn't know why, where or how," the attorney said. Either he really is nuts, or he hired the Kuwaiti Perry Mason. |
