evidence: KUWAIT, Aug 11 (KUNA) -- Umm Al-Maradim was the second Kuwaiti Island to be liberated from the Iraqi forces, where the invaders carved their surrender letter on its rocks in 1991. [...] Located at the extreme south of the Kuwaiti marine borders with Saudi Arabia, the island stretches over one and a half kilo meters in length and 540 meters in width. Umm Al-Maradim's nature saw some changes during the Iraqi invasion, when the soldiers set underground tunnels and barbed wire around the island. [...] Umm Al-Maradim also saw the opening of a marine entrance in 2008 and has a governmental building for customs, passport affairs and coast guard. (end) aja.ag
