ABU DHABI [MENL] -- The United States has warned of the prospect of an attack on Americans in Kuwait.
The U.S. embassy has urged Americans to be on the alert for an Al Qaida-inspired attack in the sheikdom. The embassy said the attack could take place either on U.S. soldiers or American civilians. More than 25,000 U.S. soldiers were said to be deployed in Kuwait.
The embassy pointed to the arrest of more than 20 Al Qaida-aligned insurgents in Kuwait over the last few weeks. The insurgents were accused of recruiting and training youngsters to attack U.S. troops in both Iraq and Kuwait. The insurgency network was also said to have possessed weapons, ammunition and explosives.
"With the detention of several individuals in Kuwait for suspected activities against the U.S. military in Kuwait and Iraq," the U.S. embassy said, "the embassy would like to remind all U.S. citizens to be aware of their security posture at all times."
