Show WORLD 140A Saturday, Oct. 12, 1991 WORLD BRIEFS Last refugees returning to Kuwait ABDALI, Kuwait — The last refugees left this squalid camp on the Iraq-Kuwait border Friday to return to their homes in Kuwait after months of detention by Kuwaiti officials. Humanitarian workers said the operation to close the camp,set up in March, went smoothly. Most of the 566 refugees were bidouns, or stateless Arabs, detained by Kuwaiti authorities while crossing from Iraq into Kuwait after the liberation of the emirate. Bidoun means “without” in Arabic, thus, without nationality. They went to Iraq after the Gulf war broke out to visit relatives, get medical treatment or look for missing family members taken prisoner byIraq. Whentheytried to return, they had no proofof residency to show Kuwaiti officials and were stuck in the camp pending security checks to make sure they were not former collaborators with Iraqi occupation forces. The rest of the 566 were Saudis, Somalis, Jordanians and Syrians whose identity cards had been confiscated by the Iraqis. Theoriginal refugee population after the Gulf war totaled about 20,000.

The case caused a public furor, and political pressure had mounted for the dismissal of the official, Svein Urdal. The interrogations surfaced last month in a report by the Oslo newspaper Aftenposten, which said nine Palestinians, believed to be defectors from the Palestine Liberation Organization, were questioned from January to August An internal control commission of the state security police reviewed the case.
