KUWAIT: A GCC national entered Kuwait on April 23 using his relative's ID, but was discovered by an officer at the passports counter while he was trying to leave the country on Monday. The man said that he used the ID in order to enter Kuwait and take advantage of free medical attention at public hospitals, adding that the ID's owner does not know about the case. The passport officer noticed that the man pictured on the ID looked different to the passenger, so he sent him to the security supervisor. The suspect was eventually arrested on charges with forgery.
