Report: Six arrested in al Qaeda plot on U.S. camp in Kuwait
(CNN) -- Kuwaiti security forces arrested six Kuwaitis linked to al Qaeda who planned to attack a U.S. military installation, the country's state-run news agency reported Tuesday.
Troops at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait gather for a 2007 holiday show.
The suspects had planned to bomb Camp Arifjan during the upcoming Muslim holy month of Ramadan, Kuwaiti security sources said.
It is unclear when the arrests took place.
The plot also involved an attack on Kuwait's State Security Service headquarters and other government facilities, according to the Kuwait News Agency, which cited a statement from the Interior Ministry.
An investigation into the alleged al Qaeda plot is ongoing, the news agency reported.
Two suspects confessed Tuesday that they planned to attack Camp Arifjan with an explosives-laden truck during Ramadan, which begins August 21, the security sources said.
The other four suspects will be interrogated Wednesday, the sources said.
