KUWAIT CITY: Kuwaiti Islamist MPs have decided to file to question the prime minister in parliament for not sending troops to Bahrain and strongly blasted Iran for meddling in its affairs. The announcement was made by Sunni Salafi lawmakers Mohammad Hayef and Waleed Al-Tabtabai Saturday night after a large gathering by Islamists to denounce the government “decision” not to send troops to Bahrain. Kuwait has so far remained silent on the issue and it was not clear whether its troops have been sent or not. The Shiites staged a rally on Thursday to thank the government for not sending troops to Bahrain to help the government. Hundreds of troops from the Peninsula Shield force of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council alliance were dispatched to Bahrain last week to assist the government against the Shiite-led protests. Speakers at the rally, held just opposite the government office in Kuwait City, strongly criticized Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser Mohammad Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah and blasted what they called Iranian meddling in Bahrain's affairs. – Agence France
