Police have arrested nine suspected al Qaeda supporters accused of enlisting Kuwaitis to fight U S-led forces in Iraq, an Interior Ministry official said today. The nine Kuwaitis, arrested a week ago, were also charged with indoctrinating young people in radical Islamist ideology and helping them enter Iraq via Syria, the official told Reuters. The nine were being questioned about links to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network. The arrests were partly based on information provided by families who complained that their sons were being recruited to fight against foreign forces in neighbouring Iraq, he added. |
