US embassy cable - 05KUWAIT2928

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

The press reports that former Guantanamo detainee Nasser 
Al-Mutairi, who was transferred to Kuwaiti custody January 
15, 2005, was cleared June 29 of the charges of working for 
the interests of a foreign country and those 
serving it; not obtaining permission to join foreign military 
forces opposed to another country; and undergoing illegal 
weapons training (ref b).  He had been released on bail April 
13 for humanitarian reasons (ref a).  According to reports, 
the Kuwaiti Criminal Court cited insufficient evidence to 
uphold the charges, but details of the ruling are not yet 
available.  The prosecution retains the right to appeal.
