Now headquarters is Pakistan? Orders are dispatched from there? Does anyone in Pakistan have any say whether they want to recruited into this new war? Is this a kid just seeking attention?

KUWAIT (October 17, 2002 2:49 p.m. EDT) - Kuwaiti authorities arrested a teenager Thursday who had explosives in his car near a shopping center and residential high-rise where some U.S. soldiers live just outside Kuwait City, Kuwaiti government officials said.
A 17-year-old male was arrested near the Alia and Ghalia towers in Fintas, about 15 miles south of Kuwait City, an Interior Ministry official said on condition of anonymity. Several U.S. military personnel live in the building.

The youth had 10 bottles filled with gasoline, each with a cloth fuse, in his car, and told police he had received orders from Pakistan over the Internet to place the explosives in the towers. **
However, the Kuwaiti Interior Ministry official said it was the youth who had called authorities reporting a suspicious car in front of the buildings. When police arrived, they saw the youth but not the suspicious car, he said.
On questioning the teen, whose name was not released, the boy initially denied having a car of his own in the area, but the official said he ultimately directed them to his car, which contained the makeshift explosives.
The teen was arrested, he said.
A police car was patrolling the building afterward, but the incident did not appear to cause any disruption at the towers.
Residents outside shortly afterward said they were unaware of any trouble, and people were sipping soft drinks and appeared relaxed at a center connecting the two towers that has a bakery, Internet cafe and flower shop.
A U.S. Embassy official said the Americans had no information on any incident.
