Kuwaiti media have quoted sources in the Persian Gulf as saying that Washington will launch strikes against Syria from Turkey and Cyprus, 'within hours'.
The Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Qabas quoted diplomatic sources in the Persian Gulf on Saturday as saying that Washington will launch strikes against Syria from a number of bases, including those in Turkey and Cyprus.
The sources said the attack could be hours away.
Another Kuwaiti daily, Al-Rai, cites sources as indicating that the Syrian government has instructed his armed forces to defend their country - if and when his country comes under attack.
The news item was posted on Israel Radio's website and first reported by its Arab language correspondent.
International debate is raging on finding the truth about an alleged chemical attack in Syria which US is using as reason to bomb the Arab country.
The US has failed to provide evidence of its accusations against Syria while international condemnation grows against its military ambitions.
The US claims come as Syria has already provided UN with evidences on at least three chemical attacks carried out by US-backed militants near the Syrian capital.
