In what could be a major embarrassment for Islamabad, Kuwait today denied that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who has identified by US intelligence sources as the brain behind the September 11 attacks, was a Kuwaiti and claimed he was a Pakistani national.

A statement from the Kuwaiti Embassy here quoted its Minister of Information Sheikh Ahmed Fahd Ahmed Al-Sabah as saying that Khalid was a Pakistani national, born in Kuwait, and that people born in the Gulf State did not automatically qualify for citizenship.

They pointed out that while Khalid was born in Kuwait on April 24, 1965, he had a Pakistani passport (No. AK 488555), issued by the Pakistani Embassy in Kuwait on December 6, 1982. He had left the country in the mid-eighties, probably to join those fighting in Afghanistan, the statement said.

Kuwait was against all types of terrorism and had joined hands with the world community in fighting the menace in all its forms the statement added.
