Kuwait acquits ex-Guantanamo inmates

[maddezmom]

KUWAIT CITY (AFP) - A Kuwaiti court on Saturday acquitted two former Guantanamo Bay inmates on charges of fighting US forces in Afghanistan under Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

The court acquitted Kuwaitis Omar Rajab Amin and Abdullah Kamel al-Kundari because of lack of evidence.

The public prosecutor in Kuwait, a staunch ally of the United States, had charged them with endangering the emirate's ties with friendly nations by joining Al-Qaeda and Taliban to fight US and NATO forces in Afghanistan.

The verdict is not final as the government can challenge it before the courts of appeals and cassation.
