DUBAI – A Kuwaiti criminal court has sentenced three people to death for being part of an alleged Iranian spy ring in the Gulf Arab state, Dubai-based Al Arabiya television said on Tuesday.
The station did not give further details on a case that has strained relations between Kuwait and Tehran. Kuwait, which banned media coverage of the case, has said only that several people were detained in an unspecified security probe.
Kuwaiti media said in May 2010 authorities had detained a number of people — Kuwaitis and foreigners — suspected of spying for Iran.
