KUWAIT CITY — Two Iranians and a Kuwaiti national, all serving in Kuwait's army, were condemned to death on Tuesday for belonging to an Iranian spy ring, a judiciary source told AFP.

A Syrian and a stateless Arab were handed life terms at the end of the trial in a Kuwait City court, while an Iranian man and the only woman defendant -- daughter of one of the two Iranians on death row -- were acquitted, he said.

The three men condemned to death and the Syrian were serving in the Kuwaiti military at the time of their arrest in May 2010, while the stateless person was an ex-soldier.
The two Iranians handed the death sentence and the convicted stateless Arab appeared by their names to be brothers.

The defendants were accused of spying for neighbouring Iran and of passing on information on the Kuwaiti and US military in Kuwait to the Islamic republic's Revolutionary Guards, an accusation denied by Tehran.
