A battery arrest is an arrest on suspicion of battery, a legal charge which refers to causing harm to someone with unwanted physical touch. The battery arrest may be carried out by a law enforcement officer acting on a warrant or responding to a case of suspected battery at the time it occurs.
This map shows the initial air attacks of Desert Storm made by the allied forces early in the morning on January 17, 1991. Iraq did not leave Kuwait untouched. Millions of dollars of valuables were plundered by the occupying troops. As Iraq retreated, they detonated explosives at many of Kuwait's oil wells.
On August 2, 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait, its tiny oil-rich neighbor, and within hours had occupied most strategic positions in the country. One week later, Operation Shield, the American defense of Saudi Arabia, began as U.S. forces massed in the Persian Gulf. Three months later, the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution authorizing the use of force against Iraq if it failed to withdraw from Kuwait by January 15, 1991.
