Militants shave, don pants ... infiltrate Kuwait
2005-02-01
I've never really thought it was that important to die with my boots on, but when the time comes, hopefully I'll be wearing pants. Having your heinie hanging out is so undignified...
A fierce hourlong battle between police and suspected terrorists holed up in a residential building Sunday left a most-wanted fundamentalist, one policeman and a Bahraini resident dead, the government said. It was the third shootout this month between security forces and suspected militants in Kuwait, a major US ally that has been battling fundamentalists who oppose the presence of the American military here. Four policemen were injured in the shooting and two suspects were arrested, according to a statement by the Interior Ministry and an official who spoke on customary condition of anonymity. The official identified the killed suspect as Nasser Klaif al-Enezi, a fundamentalist high on Kuwait's most-wanted list. He declined to name the suspects in custody but said they were being interrogated.
"Ready to go to work, Boss!"
"Good! And might I say that your moustachios are particularly dashing today, Mustafa!"
"Awwww! T'anks, Boss!"
"And is that a new truncheon?"
"Yeah, Boss! I bought it special for the occasion!"
Special forces in armored vehicles and state security police with faces covered in black masks stormed the six-story building Sunday morning after blocking the way to the neighborhood in Salmiyah, a suburb of Kuwait City where many foreigners live. "Expect this (to happen again). We will chase these criminals until we get them all," Interior Minister Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmed Al Sabah told reporters after visiting the injured policemen at the hospital. He said the four men were in stable condition.
"This isn't Soddy Arabia, y'know!"
