Kuwait blacklists Pakistan, Syria, Iran nationals

Kuwait has banned nationals from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan and Afghanistan from entering the country over fears political unrest in those nations could pose a risk to the Gulf state’s security.

The blacklist includes trade, tourism and visit visas as well as visas sponsored by spouses, immigration sources quoted by Kuwait media said Saturday.
The Gulf state’s move was attributed to the “difficult security conditions in the five countries” and the increased risk of nationals bringing over relatives to escape arrest in their home country, immigration sources said.


A number of Gulf states have tightened border security in the wake of the Arab Spring revolts that have spread across the Middle East. Kuwait’s move came after a number of security scares including the discovery last week of explosives hidden in a pickup truck that was trying to enter an industrial seaport.

The driver of the truck was described as an Asian national by the government.


Kuwait, the launch pad for the 2003 US-led war on Iraq which ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, remains a logistics base for the US Army to support its troops in the region.

The OPEC-member hosts Camp Arifjan, a vast base in the desert south of the capital that serves as a staging post for US forces being deployed in neighbouring Iraq.

In April, Kuwait said it had uncovered an Iranian spy cell that monitored the US military presence and planned to bomb “strategic” facilities. The Gulf state sentenced two Iranians and a Kuwaiti to death for their part in the alleged plot.

Iran expelled three Kuwaiti diplomats in a tit-for-tat move after the Gulf emirate said it would throw out three Iranian diplomats in the row over spy allegations.
In 2009, Kuwait foiled an al Qaeda-linked plan to bomb a US Army camp and other facilities in the country, including the state security building.

All those arrested were Filipinos & are released....
 
I completely agree. I do not wish to talk about Hindus because they are not even worth discussing. But as for Bharat Mata Muslims I cannot understand their mentality, their venomous hatred for Pakistan and their Indian nationalism has ruined them. Little do they know that their is no nationalism in Islam.

This is because quite a lot of Muslims in India are doing very well in business, service, academic field etc... The richest Muslim entrepreneur in the world is Azim Premji, an Indian & as per Forbes list of Billionaires is the second richest Muslim in the world after the Saudi Prince (who has inherited wealth). Why should they support Pakistan when they can live with other Indians in harmony & comfortably? India is a Secular country & there are people of different religions & faith, but they are Indians first & later comes everything else. Of course we too have our extremists & fanatics in almost every religion & community and we do face occasional problems because of that. But that is temporary & we soon put our house in order without any outside interference.
