| [Pak Daily Times] A crowd angry about a programme they deemed insulting to some members of Kuwait's ruling family stormed a Kuwaiti private television station on Sunday, ransacking its offices, station officials said. "Some of them were armed with pistols and knives. They attacked the studio and damaged it and beat up the workers. About 10 were injured," Scope TV Executive Manager Muhammad Talal al Saeed, told Rooters. Owner of the station Fajr al Saeed, said she had received threats to her life after the talk show "Zain wa Shain" ("Good and Bad") was aired on Saturday. Kuwaiti newspapers have said the Information Ministry has accused Fajr al-Saeed of attempting to overthrow the government with Scope's satirical comedy show "Sawtak Wasal" ("Your Voice Has Been Heard"). Fajr al-Saeed said the presenter of Saturday's talk show had appeared to accuse a member of the ruling family, who is a senior Information Ministry official, of being behind the accusation. |
