BBC report

from the BBC story:

Kuwaitis feel they are in debt to the US for their liberation in 1991 and are secretly hoping that the US will soon shift its attention from Afghanistan to Iraq.

That's right Saddam; give America an excuse to attack yer, eh?

Bloody tyrannical warlords these days, eh? Can't trust 'em not to be psychopaths...

A mortar ain't what I'd call heavy ordinance... in national terms, this seems like the equivalent of a cranky, crazy neighbor firing a BB gun across the fence... and not hitting any pets or windows.

Tariq, dude, you gotta work on your timing, here.
