 A Kuwaiti security source said yesterday that the Kuwaiti authorities detained a person who is suspected to be a prominent figure in al-Qaida organization in Kuwait under the charge of recruiting gunmen to launch attacks against the American forces in Iraq. The source said that the Islamist Mohsin al-Fadli was arrested earlier this week and he has been interrogated, noting that the state security forces have been chasing him since last August because of his support to the leader of al-Qaida organization Osama Bin laden. The source added that investigations are continuous in the ministry of the interior and might continue for one month. The source said that there are other accusations against al-Fadli that cannot be crystallized before the end of the investigations. The authorities had appealed to citizens in August to help find the place of al-Fadli (23 year old) after the police was able to arrest a network suspected to recruit young men to fight the American occupation forces in Iraq. |
