Gulf War prisoners found From correspondents in Abu Dhabi April 14, 2003 EIGHTEEN Kuwaitis held since the 1991 Gulf War were among prisoners in an underground shelter in Baghdad, Abu Dhabi satellite television reported today, quoting a former Iraqi colonel. The men "are alive ... and in an underground shelter near the military tribunal in the Al-Khadra district," the channel said without naming its source. Kuwait says 605 people disappeared during Baghdad's occupation of the emirate in 1990-1991 and believes many were kept in Iraqi jails. The emirate on Saturday offered a reward to anyone who helps determine the fate of the missing people. "We have no information on the whereabouts of the POWs after the fall of the Iraqi regime, but we hope for a speedy solution to end the suffering of the POWs and their families which has lasted for more than 12 years," said First Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah. Apart from Kuwaiti nationals, the 605 people missing or taken prisoner include 14 Saudis, five Egyptians, five Iranians, four Syrians, three Lebanese, one Bahraini, one Omani and one Indian, according to Kuwaiti authorities. Saddam's regime said there had been prisoners, but that it lost track of them during an uprising by Shi'ite Muslims in southern Iraq following its retreat from Kuwait. The ousted Baghdad regime had also claimed 1142 of its nationals had been missing since the Gulf War. news.com.au
