Kuwait affirms commitment to fight terrorism

KUWAIT CITY (AP) — Kuwait’s ambassador to the United States said his country is committed to fighting terrorism after the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned three Kuwaiti men suspected of helping finance terrorist groups in Iraq and Syria.

The official Kuwait News Agency, known as KUNA, reported late Wednesday that the ambassador, Sheik Salem Abdullah Al Jaber Al Sabah, reaffirmed Kuwait’s commitment and said it is “approving a law to combat terrorist activity and financing.”
