Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Siyassah is reporting that Kuwaiti security forces have intercepted smugglers with $60 million worth of Iraqi chemical and biological weapons—on their way to Europe: Kuwait foils Iraqi-WMD smuggling attempt.
The pro-government daily reports Kuwaiti security forces foiled an attempted smuggling of $60 million worth of chemical weapons and biological warheads from Iraq to an unnamed European country.
Citing an unnamed security source, Al-Siyassah said the smugglers had been under surveillance since they arrived in Kuwait and were arrested “in due time.”
No details about the suspects, possible accomplices, where the weapons came from in Iraq and how they were acquired were disclosed.
The smuggled arms will be turned over to an FBI agent by Kuwaiti Interior Minister Sheik Nawwaf Al Ahmed Al Sabah, according to the paper. No time was given for the news conference where this handover is slated to take place.
