An Egyptian electrician is being questioned after his truck slammed into a group of US soldiers in Kuwait, injuring 15 troops. The driver was shot in the chest and shoulder by US soldiers in Sunday's incident. The troops were outside a shop at a US base. The Kuwaiti Interior Ministry named the man as Lutfi Mohammad al-Barbari, 31. Al-Barbari, who had been doing maintenance work at the camp, is being treated in hospital for his wounds. "The motive is unknown. Whether it was an accident or something else, the investigators will find out," a spokesman said.
I'd guess he saw a bunch of infidels and tried to mow them down. I'll be willing to change my mind if it can be shown he was blind or had a siezure, I guess...
One of the soldiers hit by the truck will be flown to Germany for treatment to an injured knee. |
