KUWAIT CITY, May 31: After a decade on the run, fugitive Musaed Al-Musaileem was extradited to Kuwait on Friday evening, following his arrest by Malaysian authorities based on an international warrant issued through Interpol. He arrived in Kuwait aboard a Kuwait Airways flight via Doha, where the plane made a brief transit stop.

Kuwaiti security forces took custody of Al-Musaileem upon his arrival at Kuwait International Airport, completing all detention procedures. Authorities have since begun formal investigations in preparation for his trial.

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Fahad Al-Yousef issued a stern warning to those living abroad who engage in activities aimed at harming Kuwait. He cautioned that such individuals will inevitably return, but with disgrace, unable to stand with dignity among their fellow citizens.

Sheikh Al-Yousef said, “Those who left Kuwait and believed that distance gave them the license to attack, fabricate, and harm must now reflect on their actions. They should consider the fate of those who came before them. There is no escaping justice.”

He continued, “There is a stark difference between someone who returns to their homeland with honor, with knowledge, a degree, or a prestigious award  and one who returns in shame, having betrayed their country and attacked its people and leaders.”

The minister also highlighted Kuwait’s continued support and generosity toward its citizens and expats, expressing dismay at those who choose to overlook or disparage these efforts. “Justice stands above all, and the arm of the law is long. Anyone who thought Kuwait was an easy target will discover, sooner or later, that Kuwait does not forget those who harm it,” he said.

Reiterating his message, Sheikh Al-Yousef concluded with a warning to those who have strayed: “You will return… but do not return with a black face.”

Al-Musaileem, who fled Kuwait in 2015, has been sentenced to over 30 years in prison across six separate cases. Notably, his name had been included in the 2023 amnesty list — an opportunity he declined, choosing instead to remain in exile.

KUWAIT CITY, May 31: In a tragic incident, a domestic worker was found dead after reportedly hanging himself inside a stable in the Mina Abdullah area.

According to a security source, the worker’s sponsor contacted the Ministry of Interior after being unable to reach him since the day before. Upon visiting the stable, the sponsor discovered the worker had taken his own life by hanging in his room. Security forces, forensic experts, and a representative from the Public Prosecution arrived at the scene. Authorities have opened a case and assigned detectives to carry out the necessary investigations.

In a separate incident, another domestic worker, holding residency under Article 20, attempted suicide by cutting her wrist at her sponsor’s home in the Fahaheel area. A security source reported that the sponsor’s wife alerted authorities after discovering the worker had injured herself. She was immediately transferred to Al-Adan Hospital for medical care. An investigation has been launched to determine the reasons behind her suicide attempt. Preliminary information suggests that the worker may face deportation.

KUWAIT CITY, May 31: A violent assault involving two tenth-grade students has left a classmate seriously injured and hospitalized in the intensive care unit at Al-Adan Hospital. The attack, classified as a felony assault, was recorded by Abu Halifa Police Station and has sent shockwaves through the local school community.

According to security sources, the incident occurred on Thursday shortly after students finished their final exams at a school in the Mangaf area. The two suspects confronted their classmate near a grocery store just outside the school premises. In a sudden and calculated assault, each of the attackers wielded a knife and stabbed the victim six times, once in the upper chest, once in the back, and once in the left hand, among other wounds.

Preliminary investigations suggest the motive was retaliation. The victim had earlier intervened to defend a fellow student who was being bullied by the suspects for a speech impediment. He reportedly reprimanded them, urging them to stop their mockery and leave the classmate alone, an act of courage that may have provoked the violent reprisal.

The injured student was rushed to Al-Adan Hospital, where he was admitted to the ICU due to the severity of the stab wounds. Doctors later stabilized his condition and transferred him to a general ward.

Security forces acted swiftly, with detectives apprehending the suspects and referring them to the Juvenile Prosecution Office for further legal action.

Speaking on behalf of the victim, attorney Abdulrahman Al-Huwaishil condemned the attack and voiced concern over the growing trend of violence among students. He called on education and security authorities to address this alarming phenomenon with urgency.

“This was not just a schoolyard fight; it was a deliberate, premeditated act of violence,” said Al-Huwaishil. “We will seek the maximum legal penalties available to ensure justice is served and to deter future incidents of this nature.”
