Senior officials told Kuwait Times that the law, the first of its kind in the world, will only be used for criminal security purposes. When the law (no. 78/2015) is applied, it will be binding on all citizens, expa- triates and visitors too. A Kuwaiti security dele- gation had earlier visited Washington to study DNA testing systems there. EXCLUSIVE The National Assembly passed the DNA test- ing law on July 2, 2015 that will be mandatory on everyone in Kuwait in order to fight crime and terrorism. Kuwait Times was given exclu- sive and rare access to the DNA lab located at the General Department of Criminal Evidence in Dajeej in an effort to learn more about the latest developments regarding the law.

(See Page 3) Kerry reassures Gulf allies RIYADH: US Secretary of State John Kerry, on a visit to Saudi Arabia, sought yesterday to reassure Gulf allies concerned about a perceived warming of ties between Washington and Iran. He also announced that the Syria Support Group of 20 nations and organizations will meet “very shortly” to help push peace in the war-ravaged country. Kerry spoke in Riyadh after meeting his Saudi counterpart Adel Al- Jubeir and other foreign ministers from the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council. “The United States remains concerned about some of the activities that Iran is engaged in other countries,” Kerry told reporters, citing as an example Iran’s “support for terrorist groups like Hezbollah” in Lebanon. Saudi Arabia and its Gulf neighbors per- ceive a lack of US engagement in the region, particu- larly in the face of what they see as Iran’s “interfer- ence” in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon and elsewhere. Those feelings crystallized with the historic inter- national deal which this month lifted crippling eco- nomic sanctions on Iran in return for a scaling back of RIYADH: US Secretary of State John Kerry meets its nuclear capabilities.

It went down to Tbelow $30 a barrel very quickly, and this is surely terrifying for us all.

Giuliani — as well as the former head of Saudi intelligence. The boisterous event, held annually in this town just north of Paris, was organized by the National Council of Resistance of Iran, a France-based group of Iranian exiles that brings dozens of current and former U.S., European and Middle Eastern officials together to speak out in support of regime change in Tehran. While the Trump administration’s pos- ture on the issue is elusive, Mr. Giuliani drew loud cheers by asserting that the new U.S. president’s view is far different from that of his predecessor, who led world pow- ers to ease sanctions on the Islamic republic with the 2015 Iranian nuclear accord.
