Security forces are looking for 2 Kuwaitis who were abducted while on a searching journey in a desert location in Iraq, 2 security authorities stated on Monday.
A cops colonel validated the kidnapping happened on Sunday in a desert location in between Anbar and Salahuddin provinces.
An Iraqi foreign ministry declaration referred just to one Kuwaiti nationwide.
It stated Iraq’s Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein informed his Kuwaiti equivalent Sheikh Salem Abdullah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah the Iraqi federal government would “identify the fate of the Kuwaiti nationwide”. The declaration followed a call in between the 2 ministers on Monday.
Iraqi security authorities stated a preliminary examination revealed that a person of the hunters’ cars was assaulted by shooters and contact had actually been lost with the 2 Kuwaitis.
The desert area is understood to be a hiding location for Islamic State militant groups that are still active, the 2 security sources stated.
There was no instant claim of duty for the occurrence. Hunters from rich Gulf states typically make journeys to Iraq’s southern and western desert searching for hawks.
One policeman informed Reuters on condition of privacy the Kuwaitis had actually remained in a substantial desert location that is extremely hazardous since Daesh (Islamic State) is still active there.
