A Kuwaiti man with a mortar was arrested on Saturday when he tried to enter a hotel housing the main U.S. and British military press center in the Gulf state, an Interior Ministry spokesman said. Security officials had initially said several men with petrol bombs had been detained but the ministry spokesman said only one man had been arrested. "He was stopped at the hotel security checkpoint and he was arrested after a mortar was found in his car. He was trying to get into the hotel grounds," Colonel Ahmad al-Sharkawi told Reuters. "He is now being held by state security."
