Australian jailed in Kuwait on terrorism charges
|
 A court in Kuwait has sentenced an Australian man to four years in prison for terrorism-related offences. Tallaal Adrey was among 37 people captured after gun battles with the Kuwaiti security forces last January, and charged with links to militants in neighbouring Iraq and Saudi Arabia. The court has sentenced six of the militants to death - three of them are Kuwaiti nationals, the other three are described as stateless Arabs. Most of the others have received jail sentences. They had all been accused of belonging to a group called the Lions of the Peninsula. The Kuwaiti police says some have confessed to planning suicide attacks against United States military targets, and other western interests in Kuwait. However, their lawyers say they were tortured into confessing.
| No doubt they were tortured into taking part in the gunfights, too... |
