KUWAIT: National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Ali Al-Ghanem yesterday lauded the security forces, namely Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Sheikh Mohammad Al-Khaled Al-Sabah, for aborting the terrorist scheme that aimed at undermining the country's security.

Speaker Al-Ghanem said in a statement that the Interior Ministry's announcement about foiling the scheme "affirms that the terrorist hand still threatens Kuwait thus there must be cooperation with the Ministry of Interior personnel and abidance by their instructions for sake of safeguarding its security and stability."

"Terrorism targets all Kuwaitis and not a certain segment of some sectarian or ideological affiliation," he said, affirming that the plot aims at driving a wedge among the Kuwaitis. However, it is hard to be defeated by terrorism and the people have manifested on plenty of occasions their solidarity with the leadership for safeguarding the country under all circumstances, he said. The security forces have proven that they earn confidence of His Highness the Amir who has always backed their efforts to preserve Kuwait, its security and stability.

MPs Dr Abdullah Al-Turaiji, Talal Al-Jalal, Abdullah Al-Tamimi, Madhi Al-Hajri, Mansour Al-Thufairi and Askar Al-Enezi released similar statements, expressed appreciation to the 'vigilance' of Interior Ministry officials and security personnel. - KUNA
