KUWAIT, May 23 (Reuters) - U.S. soldiers have been confirmed as the first cases in Kuwait with the new H1N1 flu, the state news agency KUNA reported on Saturday, citing a government official.

The virus was detected in an unspecified number of soldiers transiting through Kuwait. Some remained quarantined in their military base in Kuwait for treatment and some had left the country, Kuna said. (Reporting by Eman Goma; Editing by Charles Dick)
