KUWAIT CITY (AP)--Kuwaiti security authorities have foiled an attempt to smuggle $60 million worth of chemical weapons and biological warheads from Iraq to an unnamed European country, a Kuwaiti newspaper said Wednesday.

The pro-government Al-Siyassah, quoting an unnamed security source, said the suspects had been watched by security since they arrived in Kuwait and were arrested "in due time." It didn't say when or how the smugglers entered Kuwait or when they were arrested.

The paper said the smugglers might have had accomplices inside Kuwait. It said Interior Minister Sheik Nawwaf Al Ahmed Al Sabah would hand over the smuggled weapons to an FBI agent at a news conference, but didn't say when.

Government officials couldn't be immediately reached for comment.

Iraqi Interior Minister Nouri Al-Badran met Tuesday with Sheik Nawwaf and discussed cooperation between the two countries in security matters. His visit is the first by an Iraqi interior minister to Kuwait since 1990.

Belauris?

God I hope it's for real.
It'd be a great coup for the good guys.

[John H K]

Everyone bombard Fox News with the link in post 26. They need to go on air with this.

And risk embarassment? I don't think so.

I really hope the story's not true. Because if it is true, then we have to wonder what the heck is out there that we haven't found. I swear this is why the admin is keeping its powder dry on the WMD report.

[Peach]

Good idea - that good link is #26. Everyone - bombard FNC with it.

The news tomorrow from David Kay to Congress is a preliminary report and all indications are that it's negative to finding WMD thus far.

This will keep the news from being all bad this week.

Well Peach, their motto is "All the News that fits my agenda!"

LOL!

[CyberAnt]

WHAT!! That's what I thought too when I read this.

Isn't this the WMD we've been looking for ..?? Why isn't the media all over this story ..??

[dormee]

I went to Reuters, AP, CNN, and FCC. This must be a joke or something. Why isn't this information out to all if it is in fact true? I sure wish it were!!

[MeanWestTexan]

Somebody with an account post this to the ground-under-dims breaking news board and watch them whine and cry foul.

Something worries me here, everyone.

Look at the date. There is no year. And notice that there is mention of an Iraqi Interior Minister. Someone PLEASE tell me that this guy is one of the new officials that has been installed.

My skeptical side says this is an old article and someone is yanking everyone's chain. Someone please tell me I'm wrong.

"Some of these foreign news sources aren't very reliable. We will see."

Reliable? According to the mainstream press and liberals, people like us come here to find solace in fake news that supports our ideology. They think our attitude is, "Reliable? Reliable? We don't need no stinkin' reliable!!!" They don't realize we come to places like this because we know THEY aren't reliable.

Not a smoking gun anymore. This baby's got live ammo coming out the barrel.

Tom D'aschole is deeply saddened.

ALL YOUR WARHEADS ARE BELONG TO US

[Smogger]

Your wrong. It's a new article. The article reads:

"Iraqi Interior Minister Nouri Al-Badran met on Tuesday with Sheik Nawwaf and discussed cooperation between the two countries in security matters. His visit is the first by an Iraqi interior minister to Kuwait since 1990."

[Arrowhead1952]

Use the link on post #112. It works.

[alnick]

The article states "chemical weapons." Time will tell is the article is true, but you keep referring to no actual material. If what is in this article turns out to be true, it includes actual chemical weapons, not that a finding of bio warheads would be insignificant.

[swarthyguy]

Albania/Bosnia? Camp Bondsteel?

[drella8566]

He's interior minister as of Sept. 3

[null and void]

Shower time?

I can't sit still waiting, this really is hugh and vey series (I know, it's getting old for me, too.)

I've got an ex boss I want to send a credible link!

BBL, uh, BBSoon!
