KUWAIT CITY, July 2: In a significant security breach narrowly averted, vigilant officers at Kuwait International Airport intercepted a Pakistani passenger attempting to smuggle 70 Kalashnikov bullets out of the country. The incident, which occurred during routine departure procedures, has raised serious concerns over airport security and passenger safety.

According to security sources, the passenger was traveling with his wife and preparing to board a flight to Pakistan when airport staff grew suspicious during a standard baggage check. A more thorough inspection of his luggage led to the alarming discovery of 70 live Kalashnikov rounds concealed inside one of his bags.

Authorities immediately detained the man and referred him to the appropriate investigative departments. A legal case has been registered as officials work to determine his intent and whether the ammunition was linked to any broader criminal activity. The possession and attempted smuggling of such weaponry not only constitutes a grave legal offense but also poses a serious threat to civil aviation safety.

Sources revealed that the suspect may have tried to exploit the typically high volume of passengers to discreetly move the ammunition through security. However, the smuggling attempt was thwarted due to the heightened alertness and strict enforcement of baggage inspection protocols by airport personnel.

“Despite the congestion and rush of travelers, our team remained fully committed to inspection procedures,” a security official stated. “It’s this level of vigilance that prevented a potentially dangerous situation.”

The incident underscores the continuing challenges airport authorities face in preventing the illegal transport of weapons and contraband. Investigations are ongoing to uncover any possible accomplices or underlying motives behind the attempted smuggling.

The suspect remains in custody as legal proceedings continue.

KUWAIT CITY, July 23: The legal representative of the Kuwait Medical Association, Attorney Elaf Al-Saleh, has strongly condemned the assault on two doctors by an individual as they were leaving their workplace after completing their duties.

Al-Saleh described the attack as a flagrant violation of both legal and moral standards, emphasizing that it constitutes a full-fledged crime under Kuwaiti law. She stressed that such acts not only harm the doctors involved but also undermine the integrity and dignity of the healthcare sector as a whole.

“This assault is a direct affront to the principles of professional and workplace security, and stands in stark contrast to the ethical and humanitarian values that define any civilized society,” she said.

Highlighting the gravity of the incident, Al-Saleh noted that what makes the attack even more egregious is that it targeted medical professionals who were simply fulfilling their sacred duty to save lives and relieve human suffering.

KUWAIT CITY, July 23: As part of ongoing nationwide efforts to combat drug trafficking and safeguard public health, Kuwait’s Criminal Security Sector—represented by the General Department for Drug Control—has successfully thwarted an attempt to smuggle a massive quantity of psychotropic substances into the country.

In a coordinated operation with the General Administration of Customs and the General Fire Force, authorities seized approximately 4 million Captagon pills, concealed innovatively inside water treatment pipes. The estimated street value of the haul is around KD 12 million.

The operation began when the General Department for Drug Control received confidential intelligence about an attempt to smuggle a large shipment of Captagon into the country using unconventional methods. In response, immediate coordination was initiated with Customs to allow the shipment to clear entry points, enabling authorities to monitor its movement and identify the culprits.

As a result, one suspect was arrested inside Kuwait. Meanwhile, the primary suspect was located abroad. The Ministry of Interior confirmed that coordination is underway with a counterpart drug control agency in a foreign country to apprehend the individual and initiate legal proceedings.

Investigations revealed that the shipment had traveled through an Arab country and then passed through a European country—intended as a tactic to obscure its origin—before arriving in Kuwait.

The Ministry of Interior praised the effective collaboration among all agencies involved in this high-profile seizure. It reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to continue its nationwide crackdown on drug smuggling and trafficking networks, vowing zero tolerance toward anyone who endangers the country’s security or public safety.
