KUWAIT CITY, Jun 2: The three inmates who escaped from Kuwait's Central Prison and were declared wanted by the Ministry of Interior on Sunday have been apprehended in less than 24 hours, according to informed sources. The fugitives were reportedly tracked down and arrested by security forces in the Al-Liyyah desert following a violent pursuit. Earlier, after escaping from prison, fugitive Ali Al Subaie stopped at Abdali Cooperative Society to buy food and water. The swift operation brought an end to an intensive manhunt launched immediately after the prisoners' escape, with authorities praising the rapid response of Interior Ministry personnel.
