Kuwait’s emir yesterday honored Gen. Tommy Franks, head of the US Central Command, for his “distinguished” military duties, the state news agency KUNA reported.
Emir Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah presented Franks, who is scheduled to retire early next month, with a medal “in appreciation for his distinctive services and sincerity in carrying out his duties,” KUNA said.
Franks, who led US forces in Iraq, was also honored for his “extensive military capabilities and distinguished military experience.” The meeting was attended by Crown Prince and Prime Minister Sheikh Saad Al-Abdullah Al-Sabah.
