SUBJECT: UPDATE ON FORMER GTMO DETAINEE NASSER AL-MUTAIRI

REF: STATE 45506

The Government of Kuwait has detained Nasser Al-Mutairi
since his January 15 return to Kuwait. His trial opened
March 9 and he faced charges of harming Kuwait by working for
the interests of a foreign country and those serving it; not
obtaining permission to join foreign military forces opposed
to another country; and undergoing illegal weapons training.
He pleaded not guilty to all charges. His case was adjourned
until April 13 when the judge is expected to question him.
The judge denied his request for release on bail.
