Wife of former british diplomat attacked ;

even diplomats are not safe in Kuwait

so what will happen if normal people are treated like this

" Mrs Wilton, whose husband is Christopher Wilton, was attacked by a woman while dining with friends and a member of the Kuwait royal family on Monday.
The attacker reportedly fled the scene in the aftermath.
Her husband, who is in Britain and served in Kuwait from 2002 to 2005, told The Times: "She was extremely shaken up. She is all right but traumatised that this could happen at all."
He added that the assumption was that her table was singled out because it was Arab men dining with Western women.
Mrs Wilton, who has been discharged from hospital, is due to fly back to Britain on Thursday. She had been in the country to discuss a new school.

Can't say I'm all that surprised. Although... being "attacked" is kind of vague. I would like to hear the whole story.

See... I would have never guessed that. That really sucks though. And the guy didn't get arrested? I mean, where does one get boiling water if not from the back in the kitchen. Which leads me to beleive that the guy worked there and they know who he is. It's quite odd. Of the ways to assult someone, that's pretty unique.
