Several held over Kuwait spy row Posted on ยป Tuesday, May 04, 2010 KUWAIT: Kuwait has detained several people in a security probe, a government spokesman said yesterday, after media reports that a number of Kuwaitis and foreigners were being held on suspicion of spying for Iran. Kuwaiti media reported that a number of Kuwaitis and other nationals were arrested on accusations of gathering information for Iran on military sites in the country. Iran has denied the reports, which angered Kuwaiti legislators and prompted two to demand the expulsion of the Iranian ambassador if the reports prove to be true. Asked about the reports, government spokesman Mohammad Al Busairi said in parliament: "There are suspects and they are under investigation." "We cannot go into details ... on such national security issues because that would undoubtedly negatively affect investigations," he said, adding the men would be referred to prosecution as soon as the inquiry was completed. He did not give details of how many people were in custody.
