US Holds Exercises in Kuwait Amid Gulf Tensions
U S forces conducted their first exercise in Kuwait near Kuwait City as Washington sought to deter Saddam Hussein from future crises. Seven transport helicopters dropped 180 Marines and equipment at al Mutlaa, 18 miles from Kuwait City and two miles from the Highway of Death site. The move follows a massive allied bombardment on February 26, 1991, and signals continued distrust of Iraq’s leadership while discussions on troop limits and oil sales proceed with Gulf foreign ministers.
