,
ue enclose copies in English and
Arabic of a Note Verbale from the Iraqi Ministry of
Foreign Affairs which states that two Iraqi tribes had
a fight in Kuwait territory, as a result of which two
tribesmen of one side were killed and four of the other
side detained by the Kuwaiti authorities. The Note
requests the surrender of the last two, so that the case
may be settled appropriately in accordance with the Iraqi
Tribal Code, both tribes now having returned to Iraq,
We are not aware that there is any
tribal agreement between Iraq and Kuwait, and there is
no extradition agreement between the two countries. We
should therefore be grateful to know how we are to reply
to the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If it is
possible, we should prefer that the four tribesmen were
surrendered to the Iraqi authorities, since the
settlement of the case under tribal law would be in the
best interests of security and of the two tribes
themselves,
We are sending copies of this letter
and its enclosures to the Political
Agency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.

to the Consulate-General, Basra,
