Ummmm...


Pimps, prostitutes caught: The Jabriya police recently raided a number of apartments in the area and arrested five Asian prostitutes and nine male Bangladeshi pimps and an unidentified number of persons trading in international calls. All the arrested persons have been referred to the concerned authorities, reports Al-Watan daily. Police have also confiscated from the telephone traders telephone sets, stop watches and various types of communication devices.

(I did not, at this point, realize that stop watches were illegal in Kuwait...)

3 caught in youth’s stabbing: The Jahra police have arrested a 18-year-old Kuwaiti and two other persons for stabbing to death an unidentified GCC youth three days ago, reports Al-Anba daily. A police source said the victim and the suspects were involved in a fight over a car parking space. The car was allegedly parked in front of the home of one of them and when the victim returned he found the wheels of his car had been flattened. The source added the victim became furious and started attacking the suspects and one of them pulled out a knife and stabbed him with a sharp object. The source added the victim had parked the car in front of the home because he had run out of fuel.

Family rescued from ‘rain’: Acting upon information firemen from the Al-Nuwaiseeb fire center rushed to a chalet in Al-Zour and rescued a family which was trapped inside the chalet due to heavy rains. It has been reported the water was gradually entering the chalet, reports Al-Rai daily. The daily quoting eyewitness reports said it took firemen over an hour to suck the water out with the help of a pump.
