KUWAIT, 17 August 2004 — Kuwaiti police arrested a Kuwaiti man yesterday on suspicion of funding militant attacks in Iraq and links to Al-Qaeda ally Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, a security source said.
“The man has been arrested for aiding in the financing of terror operations in Iraq, possibly in collaboration with Zarqawi,” the source told Reuters, but did not name the man.
“The suspect is also thought to have partnered with Mohsen Al-Fadli to finance jihad operations in Iraq,” the source added.
Fadli is one of four Kuwaitis being sought by state security for suspected links with Al-Qaeda network and enlisting youths to fight foreign troops in Iraq and Kuwait.
The source said the public prosecution would now file a separate case against Fadli and the suspect arrested yesterday.
Zarqawi, a Jordanian, has claimed responsibility for many attacks against US-led troops and Iraqi officials since Saddam Hussein was ousted last year.
and also the killing of several foreign hostages among dozens seized since April.
