Kuwaitis, US troops in road rage
KUWAIT CITY : A fight broke out between Kuwaitis and US army soldiers on Arabian Gulf Street Monday evening when the driver of a bus belonging to the US army allegedly drove recklessly and almost caused several accidents. The
incident led to a clash between the Americans and the Kuwaitis, causing a serious traffic jam on the street. A retired Kuwaiti army officer, who happened to be in the vicinity, intervened and tried to resolve the matter but the American soldiers allegedly continued to behave high-handedly and
even said no one could prevent them from doing what they want. They allegedly even said that there is no authority over them in this country and fired several warning shots in the air to disperse and terrify the crowd. In the meantime, the Operations Room was informed and security agents rushed to the location and dispersed the crowd. An eyewitness told the Arab Times
that the US soldiers were driving recklessly. They were allegedly annoying fellow road users, a behavior viewed as unprecedented by US army personnel in this country. "More than once the soldiers said there is no authority over them and that they are above the Kuwaiti law," he added. The eyewitness
called on concerned authorities to act and stop the soldiers from mocking Kuwaitis.
