The alleged ringleader of a terror group accused of attacking Americans and Kuwaiti security forces has died of heart failure while in prison, an Interior Ministry official said Wednesday.

Amer Khlaif al-Enezi, believed to be in his 30s, died on Tuesday, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The state-owned Kuwait News Agency said al-Enezi was "moved to the Armed Forces Hospital after he had trouble breathing" and died there.

Al-Qabas daily said al-Enezi was "in bad physical and psychological condition" when he was questioned by prosecutors Tuesday.
