Kuwait City (AFP) - A collision between a truck driven by an Egyptian and a vehicle carrying three US soldiers in Kuwait was a "terrorist attack," not an accident as first thought, the embassy confirmed Sunday.

"US Embassy in Kuwait confirms that what at first appeared to be a routine traffic accident involving three deployed US military personnel... was in fact an attempted terrorist attack," the mission said in a statement posted on its website.

The statement said the attack took place on Thursday and that the US soldiers escaped unhurt.
