| Kuwaiti Denies Killing U.S. Contractor |
| 2003-02-09 |
| A Kuwaiti civil servant who previously admitted killing one U.S. computer contractor and injuring another claimed that authorities forced him to confess, his lawyer said. Sami al-Mutairi, 25, on Saturday denied the Jan. 21 shooting of the two computer contractors near a U.S. military camp in Kuwait, counsel Mohammed al-Mutairi said. The judge approved a prosecution request to extend al-Mutairi's detention for two weeks. Badi al-Ajmi, a Kuwaiti detained over allegations he supplied al-Mutairi with the AK-47 assault rifle used in the attack, also claimed his confession was made under duress. "Nope. Nope. Wudn't us." |
