'Terrorist cell leader' dies in custody
(CNN) -- The purported leader of a terrorist cell in Kuwait died in custody Tuesday, a Kuwaiti security source told CNN.
Amer Khulaif al-Enezi was captured along with five other militants on January 31, following a fierce gun battle in the Kuwait City suburb of Mubarak al-Kabeer. No other details were immediately available.
Kuwaiti security forces killed four Islamic militants in the firefight. One Kuwaiti national guard was also killed and five security men were wounded -- one of them critically.
Amer's brother, Nasser al-Enezi, was taken into custody a day earlier after a similar battle with security forces.
At the time, the Kuwait News Agency trumpeted the announcement, quoting another security source, who said the terror cell had been "completely crushed."
