    Lebanon’s prime minister is unwelcome in Kuwait and should be pelted with eggs for backing Saddam Hussein’s toppled regime and offering little support for Kuwait, two lawmakers said Sunday. Rafik Hariri is expected to arrive Monday on a fence mending visit to this oil-rich state.

    “This is what you are worth Hariri,... a rotten egg from the Kuwaiti people,” Musallam al-Barrak, a Kuwaiti parliamentarian told reporters, carrying an egg in his hand for emphasis.

      Kuwaiti police fired teargas and stun grenades to disperse an opposition rally demanding the release of prominent dissident Mussallam al-Barrak, activists said on Thursday.

      The public prosecutor on Wednesday ordered Barrak, a former MP, to be held for 10 days after he was questioned for allegedly insulting the judiciary.

      Thousands of people gathered at Barrak’s residence southwest of Kuwait City on Wednesday night and marched on the nearby jail where the former opposition leader was detained, the activists said.
