In a story almost completely devoid of details (and so far, only running in the Hindustan Times, from what I can tell, along with an additional story in World Net Daily) the Associated Press reports that Kuwaiti's pro-government paper, al-Siyassah is claiming that Kuwaiti's security service had prevented the smuggling of chemical and biological weapons from Iraq to an "unnamed European country".
The article states that the plan was foiled, but noted that the al-Siyassah article did not say "when or how the smugglers entered Kuwait or when they were arrested," and that
Interior Minister Sheik Nawwaf Al Ahmed Al Sabah would hand over the smuggled weapons to an FBI agent at a news conference, but did not say when.It also says that the AP tried to contact the government, but they "not be immediately reached for comment."
Its interesting that a story like this would break on the same day that David Kay is reporting, essentially, that we still haven't found anything demonstrating that Saddam had any WMD. I expect we'll be hearing a lot more about this alleged smuggling operation from the right - it'll be interesting to see which, if any, of the details get filled in.
