US covers up killings of its troops in Kuwait
By Jack Fairweather in Kuwait City
Attacks on American forces in Kuwait are being covered up and played down because of concerns that further disclosures will destabilise military preparations for war against Iraq. Incidents have either gone unreported or have been passed off as harmless recreational shooting by hunters, a senior Kuwaiti government official told The Telegraph. "The Americans have told us to downplay these incidents for fear of creating the sort of climate in which further attacks can happen," the official said. One United States marine has been killed and five seriously injured in terrorist attacks over the past two months. Although no further injuries have been reported, there have been a number of "close shaves" as America's military presence continues to provoke hostility among some Kuwaitis. The American embassy recently advised its citizens not to visit shopping precincts for fear of creating a "target" for extremists.
