Much of the resistance effort, the source says, was centered in the largely Shiite neighborhood of Rumaithiya in Kuwait City. The nucleus of one group was a cell of five young men who had studied in the United States. One, an Army officer, helped the group obtain assault rifles, pistols and rocket-propelled grenades from military stockpiles.
With the assistance of Iranian operatives, Kuwaiti guerrillas blew up an Iraqi military camp in a suburb of Kuwait City. A resistance group also attacked a school that had been converted into an Iraqi barracks and antiaircraft artillery post.
