The Kuwaiti Crown Prince and Prime Minister, Sheikh Saad Al Abdullah Al Sabah left Kuwait Monday for London on a private visit to the United Kingdom to undergo routine medical check-ups, the Kuwaiti news agency (KUNA) reported.
Sheikh Sabah, 71, had health problems in 1999. He was admitted to a US naval hospital in Maryland, where he underwent "routine medical tests." Last year he was in Britain for the same purpose.
