Kuwait Says Has Arrested 10 Iranian Fishermen
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Kuwait's Interior Ministry said Sunday that its coast guard has detained 10 Iranians, accusing them of trying to breach border.
The ministry said one of the Iranian men was wounded after refusing coast guard orders to surrender.
The men were described as "infiltrators" by the ministry statement, published by the state-run Kuwait News Agency Sunday.
The ministry released a photo showing nine of the men on their knees with their hands clasped behind their backs.
Reports suggest that the fishermen were arrested because of a quarrel between them and Kuwaiti guards.
