KUWAIT, Jan 3: Security forces here have detained up to eight Kuwaiti soldiers suspected of plotting to attack US forces in the Gulf Arab state, a security source said on Monday.

The soldiers, some of whom are high-ranking officers, were detained a week ago and are being questioned over a plot to attack American soldiers in the pro-US country, the security source told Reuters.

He said a number of non-Kuwaiti citizens were also being questioned regarding the plot. -Reuters
