KUWAIT CITY, Aug 21, (Agencies): Kuwait has submitted a formal request to Burkina Faso to join ongoing investigations over a 'terrorist' attack on a restaurant in the Western African nation that killed two prominent Kuwaiti citizens and religious scholars. Kuwait's Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Al- Jarallah met the Burkinabe Ambassador to Kuwait Abu Bakr Koty on Monday, where he handed him a memorandum stating that Kuwait wishes to join the probe into the attack that left scores of people dead, including Kuwaitis Waleed Al-Ali and Fahad Al-Husseini.
Meeting
A number of foreign ministry officials were present during the meeting. Meanwhile, Dr Abdulkareem Al-Kandari has called for an investigative committee with representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Interior and the Public Prosecutor to look into the rationale behind the assassination of Dr Waleed Al-Ali and Fahd Al- Hussaini in Burkina Faso. Al-Kandari pointed to contradictory reports about the incident, which claimed the lives of the two clerics.
He called for the Government to form a fact finding committee even if conducting such investigations outside Kuwait is legally banned. He expressed appreciation to HH the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah for designating an Amiri plane to bring back the remains of the victims. He also thanked HH the Crown Prince Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, the Minister of Justice and State Minister for National Assembly Affairs Dr Faleh Al-Azeb, Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs and State Minister for Kuwait Municipality Muhammad Al- Jabri, and Kuwaiti citizens for sharing their grief. As regards the discussion on the possibility of adopting new decisions to rectify the demographic issue, Al- Kandari described such action as funny, indicating the ministers will be first to violate the decision each day.
