Securitymen have no need to use force to obtain answers from terrorists as this is a clear case where five securitymen have been killed and a large quantity of weapons seized, Al-Anba quoted Convenor of the National Assembly's Human Rights Affairs Committee MP Saleh Ashour as saying. Meanwhile, 32 MPs have rejected a demand for the formation of a special committee to investigate the reasons behind the death of terrorist Amer Khlaif Al-Enezi, who died in prison recently, saying "this will lead to conflicts in the country."
| They don't give any more of a poop than we do... |
Indicating the special committee can't discover any new things, they said "this will only give rise to sympathy for the terrorists." How can anybody answer for the blood shed by our securitymen who were killed by these terrorists? they asked.
| The Kuwaitis are a sensible lot, especially for Arabs... |
MP Bader Al-Farsi said "at this critical juncture all of us should think about the interests of Kuwait instead of worrying about our personal interests. Nobody, who cares for the interest of Kuwait, will agree to the formation of a special committee." MP Jamal Al-Omar said "it is strange some MPs are demanding the formation of a committee to investigate the reasons for the death of Al-Enezi forgetting the fact many of our securitymen sacrificed their lives to defend the security of Kuwait and its people." Accusing those, who call for a special committee, of "doubting the actions of securitymen," Al-Omar said we can't accept any such demand as the Interior Ministry is the biggest loser because of Al-Enezi's death. MP Ali Al-Hajeri said "people who want a special committee should find ways to support our securitymen in their fight against terrorists." MP Mohammad Al-Faji said "this issue has to be closed, especially as Al-Enezi's family has denounced his activities. There is no point in investigating Al-Enezi's death when the Interior Ministry says it was due to natural causes."
| Sounds like the Islamists were pretty thoroughly slapped down. Probably this'll just be a temporary state, since it's so hard to argue with people who're so much holier than thou... |
Meanwhile, State Security police Sunday arrested seven persons - whose identities have not been disclosed ... during a raid in Sulaibiya and Doha and seized from their homes video cassettes and religious books promoting extremist ideologies, reports Al-Anba daily quoting a reliable security source. The same source said the State Security personnel are analyzing the names of the suspects to establish a link between these men and terrorists who were recently involved in a shootout with security forces. If it is proven the men are involved in terrorist activities, they will be referred to the Public Prosecution. However, in a contradictory report, Al-Watan daily said the Jahra police have referred eight persons - four of them Kuwaitis, two Saudis and two bedouns - to the State Security police for interrogation for allegedly promulgating extremist ideology. |
