| The Saudi embassy in Kuwait City was briefly evacuated on Saturday after officials received information a parcel containing explosives was inside the seaside compound, a security source said. The embassy received a suspect parcel and then an anonymous telephone call that the parcel contained explosives, the source said. Police evacuated the compound, retrieved the parcel and detonated it. The source said it was not yet clear what was inside the package. A similar scare earlier this week in a building housing a branch of the Kuwaiti Central Bank turned out to be a hoax. |
