The remains of the ten Kuwaiti men, who lost their lives in the Iraqi invasion of 1990, were laid to rest at a military funeral in their honour after they were received from the Iraqi government on Wednesday.
Crowds of mourners, including Interior Minister Sheikh Thamer Ali Sabah Al- Salem Al-Sabah, attended the proceedings, offering their condolences to the families of the deceased and praising their heroism, courage and valour. They hailed the martyrs for having sacrificed their lives for their country and having set a great example of patriotism.

They had been prisoners of war in Iraq, apprehended during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, Al-Adsani explained. The Kuwaiti official went on to thank Iraqi authorities, the Tripartite and Technical Subcommittees, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) for their contributions which led to determining the fate of the missing Kuwaitis.
