Kuwait says it foiled Qaeda attack on US base

Kuwait said on Tuesday it has foiled an attack by suspected Al-Qaeda members on a US military base on its territory and arrested six nationals over their role in the plot.

The six Kuwaitis were also planning to attack state security offices and other government buildings, according to an interior ministry statement.

About 15,000 US soldiers are stationed in Kuwait, the oil-rich Gulf emirate which is also used as a transit point for thousands of US soldiers going to and from neighbouring Iraq. (Breitbart)
