* Gulf Bank ATM machines are down
* Police in place for any emergency
* Gulf Bank has major losses on its sheets
* People are rushing to pull money out of Gulf Bank

It seems Gulf Bank customers are rushing to withdraw their money after today's news. This is despite the Central Bank of Kuwait's governor appearing on tv to assure and calm the fears. As in other places, the assrances appear to backfire?
who would have thought this would happen in Kuwait!
Any one took photos of queues?
is this another sign of things to come?
Buy gold people... buy gold.
