Arab League Secretary General Esmat Abdul Meguid received today a message from Kuwait's second deputy prime minister and chairman of the Kuwaiti national committee for the captives' affairs, Sheikh Salem al-Sabah, regarding the latest developments of the Kuwaiti captives' cause, and other countries' prisoners in Iraqi prisons and Iraq's refusal to attend the meetings of the trilateral committee and the organization concerned with borders that was boycotted by Iraq since December 1998, Deaig El-Antari, the general manager of the Kuwaiti national committee for the captives' affairs, who conveyed the message, said after his meeting with Abdul Meguid.
