would never dare move against Kuwait without Bin Baud’s orders.

recently surrendered Ajman Bin Saud ordered hutair occupy wells
in question. Point is of strategic importance as its occupation
prevents encrochment fro™ Kuwait and effectually keeps Ajman
under tight rein. Salem objected move and ordered Dhaij drive
away Mutair. Latter refused threatened fight if attacked:
