#1 Here's the epilogue from Rooters:

Kuwaiti security forces have raided a suspected militant hideout in the capital a day after officials and the United States issued warnings of more al Qaeda-linked violence in the Gulf state.

At least two police commandos were wounded in Sunday's raid which targeted two buildings in the capital's mainly residential Salmiya district, security sources said.

"We are searching for an armed group that is wanted by state security," a security official told Reuters.

Witnesses and security sources said police had cordoned off a block in Salmiya, where intermittent gunfire and small blasts could be heard.

"They (police) were shooting at these buildings with M16s and rocket-propelled grenades," one witness told Reuters. "The shooting is coming from various locations."

Several police cars cut off access to the block and a helicopter hovered overhead. State security officers, wearing flak jackets over their traditional Arab robes, milled about among the commandos. Ambulances were seen racing into the area.
