Of course, if one were to forget that Kuwait is *not* a democracy and that the Kuwaiti Information Ministry is *known* to release propaganda statements, one might be forgiven to take such claims seriously.
Good journalists immediately attempt to corroborate any stories released by the Information/progaganda ministry. Clearly, it was a junior reporter at the Hindustan Times who made an error of judgement over the story - and the editor withdrew it when it became clear that there was no evidence to substantiate it.
