KUWAIT: Two
children were killed and nine others were injured in a collision along Wafra
farms road, Kuwait Fire Service Directorate's public relations and media
department said in a statement. Firefighters responded to a report Thursday
night about a collision between a water tanker and sedan carrying a family.

Sources said five
children were immediately rushed to hospital with serious injuries, where two
of them died, while the others are undergoing medical treatment. An
investigation was opened to determine the circumstances behind the accident.

Smuggling foiled

Customs
inspectors at Kuwait International Airport discovered large amounts of drugs
smuggled in a food supplement shipment arriving as a cargo from a European
country. Security sources said the recipient did not show up to collect the
shipment, so the drugs were confiscated pending further investigations.
