Kuwait arrests Iran intelligence officers
2006-05-09
London, May 08 – Kuwaiti security services have uncovered and arrested a group of agents belonging to Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) that were spying on locations used by American personnel in Kuwait, according to an Arab-language website.
Lends credence to the previous reports about how, should the balloon go up, Iran will try to kill Americans all around the world.
At least five MOIS agents had been monitoring sites which they believed were housing Americans, the website Elaph reported on Sunday, quoting Kuwaiti security sources. The report said that several of those arrested had confessed to spying for Tehran.
"I dunn it and you can't touch me!"
Kuwaiti national security forces began investigating the group last month, it added. Iranian exiles charge that the MOIS has stepped up intelligence gathering operations against Iranian dissidents since hard-liner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took office as President.

#5  OU - I don't think we have been operations out of Kuwait for three or four decades. While they will not win any sized war with the U.S., I consider our losses incrementally.

I think it's a safe bet that they were touched before they confessed -- with tools anyway.

#3  Cap'n - I wouldn't be overly concerned about Persian preparations - they've been doing that for the past 30 to 40 years. Fat lot of good it will do them, though. They cannot win a big war, cannot win a medium war, and really aren't doing so hot at the little war efforts.

On the other hand, decision time for the arabs is fast approaching, and has been underway for a while near both sides of the border.

Now, what the Turks decide will be most interesting.
