| 2009-08-11 |
| Kuwaiti authorities said Tuesday they have arrested an al-Qaida-linked group allegedly planning to attack a U.S. military base in the small oil-rich state. The Interior Ministry said in a brief statement that State Security has detained a "terrorist network" of six Kuwaitis who gave "detailed confessions" about plans to attack Camp Arifjan, the main U.S. base in the country, as well as the headquarters of the country's security agency, in addition to other facilities it did not name. |

| #1 A good article, ed. Y'all go read the whole thing. Slightly more here: Dubai-based Al-Arabiya television said the attack was planned to be carried out during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which starts on around August 20. And for those of us not connected to the American military: Arifjan base lies south of the Kuwaiti capital close to the Saudi border. |
