"Kuwaiti Mujahideen" Claim Attacks on Foreigners, Army Base

By Evan Kohlmann

The "Media Wing of the Kuwaiti Mujahideen" has issued a statement claiming responsibility for an alleged attack on a Kuwaiti military base and the (purported) subsequent murders of three Americans and a South Korean national in the Umm al-Haiman district.  According to the communique, at least one individual was "martyred" during the operation: Abu al-Baraa al-Kandahari (identified by Reuters as Saudi Arabian national Hamada al-Enezi) [The name al-Kandahari would typically suggest someone who has trained or fought in southern Afghanistan.]  South Korean Foreign Ministry officials have thus far denied receiving any reports of Korean citizens missing from southern Kuwait.
