| Kuwait arrests suspected Iraqi spy |
| 2003-01-17 |
| A Kuwaiti soldier has been arrested on suspicion of spying for the Iraqi Government, the authorities in Kuwait said on Friday. Mohammed Hamad al-Juwayed, a 40-year-old sergeant in the National Guards, has been accused of handing over documents to Iraq and aiding "acts of terrorism" in Kuwait. Mohammed is probably very unhappy right about now... A statement from the Interior Ministry said Mr Juwayed "provided security and military information to the Iraqis and spied on movements of senior Kuwaiti officials with the intent of facilitating terrorist and sabotage operations". The Interior Ministry statement accused Mr Juwayed of providing Iraqi agents with plans and important information. "The perpetrator of this crime will receive the punishment he deserves, after he has been brought before the courts in accordance with the laws in force." Sounds like a blindfold and a cigarette may be in his future... |
