4.3 Richter Kuwait-Saudi Border Earthquake

At 1:46 am local time, an earthquake measuring 4.3 on the Richter Scale struck the Kuwait-Saudi border region (105 kilometers from Kuwait City), according to the U.S. Geological Survey organization.

There are reports of people feeling tremors in and around Kuwait City.

This earthquake is a disturbing omen of things to come, another reason why both Iran and the Gulf Cooperation Council members should back off their plans to pursue "peaceful nuclear activities" (case in point, the Japan earthquake that triggered a radioactive leak at the Kashiwazaki facility last month).
