KUWAIT, May 8 2003 (IPS) - The headquarters of the Khaleej Bank in Kuwait today received a false warning about the presence of a bomb.

Ali al Badr, the director general at the bank, said the building was evacuated immediately while special forces searched the place but found no bombs.

The warning was the second in two months at Kuwaiti banks.

Another false warning was received on March 16 by the Kuwait Commercial Bank.
