Kuwait deplores 'terror' eulogy

Kuwaiti officials have criticised Shia Muslims in the
emirate who eulogised Lebanese militant Imad Mughniyeh
who died in a car bomb in Syria last week.

Hundreds of members of Kuwait's Shia minority gathered
on Saturday to hail Mughniyeh as a martyr and hero.

The cabinet branded the late Hezbollah commander "a
terrorist whose hands have been stained with martyrs'
blood".

Kuwait, a key US ally, accuses him of hijacking a
Kuwaiti jet in 1988 in which two Kuwaiti nationals
died.
