KUWAIT CITY, April 14: A number of naval officers allegedly refused to obey orders to travel to Bahrain and replace their colleagues already posted there, reports Al-Anba daily.
This is reportedly due to a fatwa issued by an Islamic scholar, stating that officers participating in the Peninsula Shield Forces will be considered infidels.
Sources added that all the disobedient officers will be referred to investigations and strict action will be taken against them. They might even be terminated if they continue to take the same stand, noted sources.
