Ex-wife 'admits starting' Kuwait wedding party blaze that killed 43
Many of those who died were killed in the stampede for the exit of the tent, in which 180 women and children were celebrating

A fire in a wedding party tent that killed 43 women and children in Kuwait was started deliberately by the ex-wife of the bridegroom, a Kuwaiti newspaper said today.
Al-Qabbas said that the 23-year-old former wife had admitted pouring petrol on the cotton tent and setting it on fire, furious at what she called her “bad treatment” by her former partner before their divorce. There was no official confirmation of the alleged confession.
Firefighters said that the blaze took less than three minutes to rip through the marquee, in which as many as 180 women and children were celebrating the wedding party. Many of those who died were killed in the stampede for the sole exit.

Yeah, but she burned the wrong tent.
And here I was thinking they’d booked Great White for the wedding band.
Which reminds me of Howell Hefflin (sp?)(RAT Senator from Ala) during the Anita Hill hearings - “Are you a SCONED woman, Miss Hill?”. LOL.
I wonder who Madoff is protecting besides just family.
...just before he pulled out his wife’s panties and wiped his brow.
