Polling stations close for Kuwait general election as opposition groups return

Polling stations close in Kuwait after the country held its most inclusive elections in a decade with some opposition groups ending a boycott after the oil-rich country's royal rulers pledged not to interfere with parliament.

The polls are the sixth in 10 years, reflecting the repeated political crises that have gripped the only Gulf Arab state with a fully elected parliament.
