Ahmad’s brother Mansour was making breakfast at the house and then left to get milk. As he was returning, he was stopped at a checkpoint, where he was detained and asked about his nationality and residence. As Ibrahim, Ahmad’s other brother, went to the bottom of the building to find out why Mansour was being held, the militants ascended the building and grabbed Ahmed along with his other brother Aziz and put them in trucks with Ibrahim and Mansour. They were held in the trucks from eight in the morning until 3:25 PM. Then they were placed in two trucks full of men and children that were surrounded by tanks. They headed on the road to the Kuwaiti embassy and the old airport. People at the airport square saw them as they were placing their hands on their heads.
