DUBAI (Dow Jones)--Kuwait has heightened alert at some of its military points, due to a systematic campaign of verbal military threats by the Iraqi government, Kuwaiti Defense Minister Sheik Salem al-Sabah said Wednesday, Kuwaiti newspapers reported Thursday.

Wednesday, Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheik Sabah al-Ahmed said Kuwait had informed its diplomatic allies of these renewed threats by Iraq, and that it was taking them seriously.

However, Kuwait hasn't put its military on full alert.

In a televized speech Tuesday, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein accused Kuwait and Saudi Arabia of "selling their souls to the U.S. and Israel," by allowing these countries to use their airspace.
