Soldiers in 'anti-US plot' held by Kuwait
Telegraph
By Robin Gedye, Foreign Affairs Writer
(Filed: 15/01/2005)

US-Kuwaiti military exercises are under review after the arrest of eight Kuwaiti soldiers, five of them officers, on suspicion of planning attacks against US troops, according to senior Kuwaiti officials.

The arrests were followed this week by the death of a terrorist linked to al-Qa'eda during a gun battle in which two police officers died, and the subsequent detention of 30 terrorist suspects in a series of police raids.

At least two of the soldiers are to be court martialled amid allegations that they planned to attack US troops during the first stage of the exercises which began on Jan 5 and end next Tuesday.

A further stage in the joint exercises is now under review, according to well-informed official sources.
