Athbi Fahad Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah (born 1967) is a former head of the State Security Service of Kuwait and a member of the ruling Al-Sabah family. The third son of Sheikh Fahad Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, he is a retired officer in the Kuwaiti Army's special forces. On May 31, 2016, Athbi Fahad was sentenced to five years imprisonment due to his involvement in the Fintas Group affair but evaded incarceration.[1][2] His name was later included in a royal pardon issued on January 17, 2023.[3]

Military career

In the early stages of his career, he served as an officer in the Kuwaiti Army's special forces and was significantly involved in the Kuwaiti resistance during the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. Throughout the occupation, he led a contingent of Kuwaiti resistors, steadfastly remaining in Kuwait despite the adversities faced, including the death of his father, Fahad Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, and the capture of his brother, Khaled Fahad Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, by the Iraqi forces.

In 2005, he assumed leadership of Kuwait's State Security Service, serving as its head until his resignation in October 2006. He was reappointed as the head of the bureau in 2009, a position he held until July 2011.
