 Kuwaiti security men have arrested a 28-year-old female employee of the Ministry of Information identified as Hadiba S.K Al-Harbi for pasting leaflets on a wall in the ministry that described Osama bin Laden as a warrior who fights for the sake of Allah. Other leaflets called on the government to release those arrested for their involvement in the twin shoot-outs. A security source said the police were alerted after the lady, who works in the transport department was caught on a security camera. She is said to have been transferred from the finance department of the ministry after a disagreement with her supervisor due to her radical religious ideas. Police confiscated a laptop computer which was found with her. "The interrogations lasted until 3:30 am Tuesday morning. A 'buffet' was ordered from a local restaurant in preparation for the marathon interrogation," sources privy to Monday's interrogations of the suspects told the Arab Times.

The men were charged with hiding information on the absconding suspects, possessing unlicensed arms and ammunition and facilitating the escape of fugitives. However, the Public Prosecution has released M. Al-Enezi, brother of Amer Al-Enezi, the main suspect in the case after interrogating him for two weeks following the Maidan Hawalli incident. The Arab Times learnt that Bander Shimmari, a Kuwaiti national was charged with being a key member of the Mutlaa Cell that planned the shoot-outs; Mohammed A.B. Al-Azmi, also a Kuwaiti, was charged with taking part in the planning; Bandar Shimmari, a bedouin was charged with being a member of the cell and being aware of the shoot-out plan; Sultan Sahli, Kuwaiti, was charged with possessing cell phones used by the planners; Mohammed Dhafeeri, a Kuwaiti, was charged with knowing where the weapons were hidden; Mishaal F. Al-Ajmi, a Kuwaiti, was charged with possessing 8 Kalashnikov rifles without license; and Jaber J was charged with promoting radical ideas. The charges against Fawaz Mohammed, Khaled Sh. and Saud Z were not specified. Two others whose names were not mentioned were accused of encouraging the militants, knowing their intentions and the places where weapons were hidden. Seven militants who are still at large were identified as Amer Kh. A., Nasser Kh. A, Mohammed A. Sh., Mohammed S.A., Mohammed J.A., Ahmed M.M., and Salah S. A security source said among the seven fugitives were four bedouns working for a charity society who are believed to have left the country.
