http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20050103/ts_nm/security_kuwait_usa_dcKuwaiti security forces have detained up to eight Kuwaiti soldiers suspected of plotting to attack U.S. forces in the Gulf Arab state, a security source said Monday.
The soldiers, some of whom are high-ranking officers, and several non-Kuwaiti citizens were detained a week ago and are being questioned over an alleged plan to attack U.S. soldiers in Kuwait, the launchpad for the 2003 war on Iraq.
Kuwait's official news agency KUNA quoted a military official as saying that Kuwaiti "Army Intelligence's security apparatus is interrogating some members of the military after what surfaced on a plot against friendly troops."
Director of Moral Guidance and Public Relations, Army Chief of Staff, Air Commodore Yousef Abdelrazzak al-Mulla told KUNA that some men had been released. Anyone with proven links to the alleged plot would be referred to the martial court, he added.
