Kuwait

Kuwaiti authorities detained Hajjaj al-Ajmi, a cleric recently added to the terrorist lists of the UN and the US, at the international airport on his arrival from Qatar. He is suspected of serving as a financier for the Al Nusrah Front in Syria. Another cleric, Shafi al-Ajmi, was detained briefly on Aug. 17 after returning from Saudi Arabia, but released. Shafi al-Ajmi, who was added to the US terrorist list with Hajjaj and another Kuwaiti man on Aug. 6, has threatened to sue the US Treasury to get his name off the blacklist.
