KUWAIT-POWS
In memory of Kuwait's POWs
April 29, 2012
It is now more than 20 years since the brutal Saddam invasion and
occupation of Kuwait and the fate of many of the 600 Kuwaiti and other POWs is
still unknown. The POWs, men, women, children, and elderly, were snatched from
Kuwait's streets and homes by the Iraqi forces when they invaded the country
on August 2, 1990. All calls and appeals by Kuwait and other states, as well
as world organizations, have so far failed to establish their whereabouts or
ascertain their fate. Only 236 remains were found and identified so far. Since
the invasion, the families of the Kuwaiti POWs have been suffering and
yearning to lay their loved ones to rest, since they could not be reunited
with them. |
