Was The Gold Looted From Kuwait?

The whole story is also a reminder of where the gold came from as well. The investigators, who came to call, believed that the gold bullion was all part of the gold that was looted from Kuwait when Iraq invaded in 1990. When the conflict was resolved in 1991, Iraq was forced to return all the loot that had been taken from Kuwait, but obviously, some of the gold never made it back to the original owners.

And, of course, the gold may have had a different origin altogether. Remember, Saddam Hussein famously had gold, riches, and money located in his palaces, but also hidden away in bunkers for future use.
