KUWAIT — An explosion rocked an area close to the downtown headquarters of Kuwait Airways Corp. today, destroying a car that was apparently the source of the blast, witnesses said.
The explosion was on Fahd al Salem Avenue about 25 yards from the main office of the airline. A Kuwait Airways flight was hijacked last month by Shia Muslims demanding the release of 17 convicted bombers serving prison terms in Kuwait. There was no immediate report of any injuries from the blast today.
