In his first public comments on an issue that has shaken the wealthy Gulf state, Sheikh Sabah urged all parties to leave the issue for the judiciary to investigate. "I followed with deep concern and sorrow the allegations about certain events which, if proven true, constitute serious crimes that threaten the security of the country, its constitution and institutions and undermine the judiciary," he said in an unscheduled speech on television. Early this month, Sheikh Ahmad Fahad al-Sabah, a senior member of the ruling family, filed a lawsuit claiming he has videotapes showing a senior member of the family and the former parliament speaker plotting a coup and accusing them of massive corruption.
