Kuwaiti confesses to shooting Americans

A KUWAITI civil servant has confessed to opening fire on two Americans in Kuwait, killing one and wounding the other.

Authorities have found the weapon he used, the Interior Ministry said yesterday.

A Kuwaiti security officer said the suspect, Sami al-Mutairi, 25, was not working alone. The Interior Ministry said he had claimed he followed the ideals of Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida terror network.
