Kuwait City: Kuwait’s head of the Committee for Prisoners of War (POW) and Missing Persons, Rabih Al Adsani, announced they have determined the identity of 13 POWs that went missing during the 1990 Iraq invasion of Kuwait.
Al Adsani said in a statement that the POWs were arrested during the Iraqi invasion and their remains were brought back to Kuwait from Iraq a few months ago.
Once the bodies arrived in Kuwait in September, they underwent genetic analysis and DNA testing by the General Department of Forensic Evidence at the Ministry of Interior.
After their bodies were identified, Al Adsani said that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed the families of the prisoners, indicating that any information they had should be known to their family as it is their human and legal right.
