IraHEWLETT PACKARD Authorized Dealer Quick Delivery!_ Kuwait's ruler returns from exile Emir set to deal with rebuilding, political turmoil By EDITH M. LEDERER Associated Press Writer KUWAIT CITY Kuwait's ruler flew home yesterday after seven months in exile and kissed the ground of his once prosperous nation, wrecked by Iraq in his absence. It was a relatively low-key homecom ing for the emir, Sheik Jaber al-Ahmed al-Sabah, with a minimum of ceremony and a small show of public adulation. He has been criticized by some Kuwaitis for waiting so long to return. The 64-year-old monarch, one of the world's wealthiest men and married dozens of times, arrived from Saudi Arabia on a Kuwait Airways jet named Bubiyan. It was named after the Kuwai ti island that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had demanded before his Aug. 2 invasion of Kuwait. In the distance, black smoke rose in the sky from several of the more than 500 oil wells torched by Iraq. In Kuwait, the emir's plane arrived at 4:40 p.m., 40 minutes late. A military band from the six-nation Gulf Cooper ation Council played the Kuwaiti nation al anthem. A Bedouin dance group brandished swords and performed in front of the emir's motorcade. There were no speeches. "I said, 'Congratulations. Welcome home, — U.S. Ambassador Edward Gnehm said. "He said, 'lt's wonderful to be home."' "He was moved," British Ambassa dor Michael Westin said. There were no fireworks, no massive crowds. On the ride from the airport into Kuwait City, a half-dozen American Gls stood by the side of the road waving Kuwaiti flags. Small clusters of Kuwai tis did the same. Arabian Gulf Road, along the city's coast, was packed with car-tooting cel ebrants, but that has been the case every evening since liberation. Mutawa had some difficulty explain ing the muted response to the emir's return. "They will be coming tomorrow and the day after," he said. "I say don't look for any significance in the appearance or the disappearance of people from the streets today." The emir arrived as Kuwait faces a mammoth rebuilding job. His own pal ace was ruined by the Iraqi invaders; he is staying in a house in the suburban al-Nuzha district owned by a Kuwaiti family. -HP Vectra RS/25C PC Kuwait's Emir Sheik Jaber al-Ahmed al-Sabah gestures to weliwishers as he is escorted by Kuwaiti soldiers.
