KUWAIT (MEMO) – Kuwait’s ministry of foreign affairs has called for the Egyptian authorities to investigate an “assault” on a number of Kuwaiti students by security personnel at a mall in the northern city of Alexandria. The demand came after the Kuwaiti parliament demanded that the Persian Gulf state’s ambassador should be called back from Cairo in protest. According to the ministry, the incident took place on Saturday when the security personnel intervened to stop a quarrel that broke out within a group of Kuwaiti students but ended up assaulting them instead. Deputy Foreign Minister Mansour Al-Otaibi has conveyed to the Egyptian ambassador in Kuwait his country’s dismay over the incident.
