KUWAIT-POWS
In memory of Kuwait's POWs
July 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. |
