Joke Kidnappings..

People are getting paranoid...

Mistaken for kidnap: A Kuwaiti woman recently called the Operations Department of the Interior Ministry when she saw an unidentified person forcing a girl into his vehicle, reports Al-Watan daily.
The woman thought the man was a kidnapper, however, when police rushed to the spot and forced the man to pull over, they discovered it was the girl’s father who was annoyed when he saw his daughter walking home alone because he was late to pick her up. He abruptly forced her into the car and the woman thought he was kidnapping the girl.

Kidnapping just as a ‘joke’: An unidentified Kuwaiti woman called the police when she saw two youths forcing an unidentified female teenager into their car, reports Al-Watan daily. However, when the police confronted the youths, they denied the kidnapping charge and said they were merely ‘joking’. The daily did not give more details.

So they can get away with attempted kidnap by saying they were "only joking"?


Cheating for a ‘free’ trip: The Ministry of Health plans to refer a transaction regarding said to have been submitted to the Overseas Medical Treatment Department to the Public Prosecution, reports Al-Qabas daily. According to a knowledgeable ministry source, the documents are forgeries. The forgery was easily discovered because the date mentioned in the transaction is March 6, 2007, while the Council of Ministers had taken a decision to suspend all transactions on Dec 19, 2006.

Horribly written...

9 times deported, returns: Police have arrested a Sri Lankan man, identified only as Ramzi, for entering the country on a forged passport, reports Al-Rai daily. Surprisingly during interrogation police discovered the man had earlier been deported from the country nine times for committing various kinds of crimes and each time he allegedly entered the country using a forged passport. Police have also arrested another Sri Lankan, identified only as Haroun, for entering the country on a forged passport. The two forgers have been referred to the authorities.

I mean, you'd think he'd get the hint..!

Kuwaiti jailed for breaking red light: The Traffic Court has sentenced a Kuwaiti man to one month imprisonment and confiscated his driving license for a similar period for crossing the red traffic light and speeding, reports Al-Watan daily. The daily did not give more details.

Clearly an effort to show us that Kuwaitis are not above the law. You hear that, Muna? LOL...
