Security authorities in Kuwait have arrested thirteen Iranians who entered the emirate illegally by sea, a newspaper said Saturday.  

 

The men, who were dropped off by boat on Kuwait's southern coast, were spotted Friday morning by a Kuwaiti taking a stroll along the beach, the Arab Times said.  

 

Security patrols promptly searched the area and found three of the Iranians hiding underneath a car and four others in a garbage container... The remaining six were caught trying to break into a house, the daily added. Around 66,000 expatriates work legally in Kuwait, primarily in manual and low-paid jobs. (Albawaba.com)
