Security authorities in Kuwaiti have detained seven Iranians who entered the emirate illegally by sea, a newspaper said Saturday.  

 

The men were caught Friday after a Kuwaiti citizen reported seeing them being dropped off by a boat along Kuwait's southern coast, Al-Watan said. The appropriate measures will be taken to return the men to the Islamic republic of Iran, the daily reported.
