Hiding More Than Weapons?

Iraq has agreed to hold talks with Kuwait and Saudi Arabia next month to discuss the fate of hundreds of people who disappeared during the Gulf War.
...
Kuwait says more than 600 people, almost all of them Kuwaitis, are still unaccounted for since the Iraqi occupation in 1990-91.

Iraq denies it is holding them.

But it boycotted talks on the issue following US and British air raids on its territory in 1998.
...
Iraq says about 1,000 of its citizens are being held illegally in Kuwait - a claim Kuwait denies.

Red Cross officials who have inspected Kuwaiti prisons have found only 40 Iraqis, all common criminals.
