Kuwait Gives N. Korean Envoy One Month to Leave
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربيةU.S. ally Kuwait has given North Korea's ambassador a month to leave the Gulf state and will downgrade its diplomatic representation with Pyongyang, a senior Kuwaiti diplomat told the AFP news agency Sunday.
North Korea's diplomatic presence in the emirate will also be reduced to a charge d'affaires and three diplomats, the source told AFP, requesting anonymity.
The measures follow a visit less than two weeks ago by Kuwait Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmed Al-Sabah to Washington.
If KSA financed North Korea's nuclear weapons program via Pakistan or directly, has KSA taken delivery of any "product"? Perhaps this Kuwait (Arabic for "little Saudi") move is to put pressure on North Korea for delivery. Would it hurt North Korea to reveal the finance source? A bit embarrassing when there's starvation at home, etc., but not a lot. More embarrassing to KSA. So when will Al Jazeera break this story?
