Kuwait forms new cabinet after corruption allegations

Kuwait's new prime minister unveiled his cabinet on Tuesday, changing key ministers after accusations of corruption and infighting forced the previous government to resign.

The old cabinet stepped down a month ago after the defence minister alleged that nearly $800 million was stolen from a military aid fund. Soon afterwards the emir appointed foreign minister Sheikh Sabah al-Khaled Al-Sabah as prime minister and tasked him with forming a new government.
