What have I missed!!

Dear Readers,

As you know, I've been out of the country for a couple of days. It seems the staff at the Arab times were saving their best (or worst, depending on which way you look at it) news for when they knew I couldn't blog!

Below are the things both you and I have missed. Try to restrain yourself:

Egyptian Boy ‘humiliated’: An 18-year-old Egyptian boy filed a complaint at Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh Police Station accusing a Customs inspector at the Kuwait International Airport of humiliating him and slapping him several times, reports Al-Watan daily. The complainant said he was shocked when the inspector took him to a special room and asked him to take off all his clothes for inspection. When the youth refused to oblige, the inspector allegedly started slapping him.

‘Rowdy’ woman: A Kuwaiti man filed a complaint against an elderly woman accusing her of breaking the window panes of his vehicle, reports Arrouiah daily. Allegedly, when the woman was summoned by police, she started verbally abusing policemen. A case has been registered against her for damaging the Kuwaiti man’s car and for insulting police.

Faithful shocked: A number of Western Christians, who attended Good Friday mass in churches in Sharq, were shocked to find traffic citations on the windscreen of their cars, reports Al-Seyassah daily. The citations were signed by a policeman named Abdulaziz. The daily regretted that the policeman did not take the holy occasion into consideration.

Love the writing. Just love it.

Send me home!: An unidentified hysterical man broke into the Egyptian embassy and pleaded officials to help him leave the country, reports Al-Watan daily. The knife wielding man threatened to kill himself and anyone who approached him. Police rushed to the place, managed to calm him and took him to the psychiatric hospital in presence of an embassy employee.

I guess Kuwait does get the best of us sometimes..

Ex-wife accused: A Kuwaiti man filed a complaint against his ex-wife accusing her of negligence in looking after their two-year-old daughter, reports Al-Watan daily. Reportedly, the girl suffered second-degree burns when hot water fell on her.

So the water just fell on her? From nowhere?

Classmate raped: Police are looking for two teenagers who allegedly kidnapped and raped their Kuwaiti classmate in Sabah Al-Salem area, reports Al-Seyassah daily. The duo allegedly bundled their friend into a vehicle, drove to a desert area and raped him.

Client, pimp held: Acting on information and armed with a search and arrest warrant, securitymen raided a number of vice dens in Farwaniya and arrested 15 Asian prostitutes, a pimp and a client and referred them to authorities, reports Al-Qabas daily.

This country confuses me.
