ABU DHABI — A major crackdown on the Al Qaida network in Kuwait has foiled several attempts to attack Western military personnel in Kuwait, Western diplomatic sources said.
The sources cited the arrest of nearly 200 suspected insurgents and raids against four strongholds in the sheikdom during January.
“Kuwait has responded very well to warnings of Al Qaida attacks,” a diplomat said. “Security forces have been acting on information and intelligence has been collecting new leads.”
But the U.S. embassy has warned of additional Al Qaida attacks on Western interests in Kuwait, Middle East Newsline reported. The embassy said Al Qaida and related operatives could “seek softer targets such as public transportation, and public areas where people congregate.”
