Kuwait Shuts Border Area as U.S. Troops Prepare for War

(Telegraph - UK) - A large area of northern Kuwait is to become a "military zone" in response to security fears expressed by U.S. forces, Kuwait's defense ministry announced Saturday. The move will provide troops with a closed arena, away from public scrutiny, to begin exercises prior to an invasion of Iraq. Next month a British armored division of up to 20,000 men is expected to arrive in Kuwait.
