Al Qaeda Militant Dies in Custody in Kuwait | ||

If this does not illustrate the MSM bias, I do not know what does. Nowhere in the article there is even the slightest insinuation of the possibility that the scum might have died from torturing. Can you imagine the frenzy of accusations of torture if the SOB would have die in US custody? A militant described by police as one of al Qaeda's top leaders in Kuwait has died in custody after being arrested in connection with a wave of violence in the Gulf state, officials said on Wednesday. Amer al-Enezi, arrested late last month, died overnight at a military hospital due to a "collapse in blood circulation," Lieutenant Colonel Adel al-Hashash of the Interior Ministry told the state news agency KUNA.
Security sources said Enezi, a Kuwaiti, had confessed that militants were planning to attack U.S. military convoys and other American targets as well as Kuwaiti security forces in suicide bombings using booby-trapped vehicles. The sources told Reuters police were still interrogating about 15 suspected militants, including Enezi's wife. Police are still searching for two other key militants, they said. Crown Prince Sheikh Saad al-Abdulla al-Sabah, whose government has vowed to eradicate the militants, has ordered the Interior Ministry to set up a special anti-terror unit. Kuwait has rounded up scores of suspected militants since the first clash in January. On Saturday, five people surrendered after police surrounded their hideout, but at least three were released later after investigations showed they had no link to the violence, security sources said. Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah was quoted on Tuesday as saying the crackdown would continue and Kuwait was prepared for the worst. "The round with the terrorists is not over," Sheikh Sabah was quoted by al-Rai al-Aam daily as saying. Al-Watan quoted him as saying: "This matter will continue... what we see in the region may spread to other Gulf states." | ||
