KUWAIT CITY — Kuwait said on Tuesday it has foiled an attack by suspected Al-Qaeda members on the main US military base in the Gulf emirate, the first such incident in four years.
Security forces have arrested six Kuwaitis who were planning to attack Camp Arifjan, and 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.
