KUWAIT CITY, Sept 9: Authorities have released five Pakistanis arrested last week for filming the coastal residence of Kuwait’s First Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah, a newspaper reported on Monday.
Al Qabas said the five men, held by state security since their arrest on Friday, were merely admiring the arches at the entrance to Sheikh Sabah’s seaside palace.
The men, who were interested in architecture, were no longer under suspicion, the daily said.
