| [An Nahar] In a new series of expulsions, Kuwait has deported eleven Lebanese and three Iraqis after it has been proven that they belong to Hizbullah ... Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistanceand purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... , the Kuwaiti al-Qabas daily reported on Monday. "They have been deported at the request of Kuwait's state security apparatus," the daily quoted a Kuwaiti security source as saying on condition of anonymity. "The Assistant Undersecretary for Citizenship and Passports Major General Mazen Al-Jarrah has formed a specialized team to follow up on the requests of the state security with regard to the deportation requests," the source stated. "The State Security has prepared a new list that includes names of Lebanese and Iraqis some of whom are general managers or senior advisers in reputable companies who were declared persona non grata," it added. "They should be deported for Kuwait's public interest," it pointed out, adding that "their expulsion will prevent them form entering the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council in the future." The move comes shortly after Kuwait announced last week that 1,100 Lebanese and Syrian nationals will be banned from renewing their residence permits for having direct links to Hizbullah. Several of the expelled were forced to leave the country within a period of one month while the more "dangerous ones" were requested to leave immediately. Last week, the Kuwaiti al-Rai newspaper said that Kuwaiti authorities have started to prepare lists of Hizbullah supporters to prevent their arrival in the country and others in anticipation of their deportation. |
