ABU DHABI [MENL] -- Kuwait has been preparing for another round of violence
by foreign laborers.
Officials said the Kuwaiti government and security authorities were
bracing for violence by Asian expatriates. They said a walkout was expected
by those from Bangladesh employed as security guards and taxi drivers.
"These people haven't gotten paid in several months and are planning
demonstrations," an official said.
