MD11 off runway at KWI

[akerosid]

An unidentified MD11 came off the runway while landing at Kuwait Intl this morning; no serious injuries or damage. 210 on board OK.

Possibly World Airways with US troops? Can't think of anyone else flying pax MD11s to KWI.

The article said 'US plane'. See this. (http://today.reuters.com/News/newsArticle.aspx?type=domesticNews&storyID=2006-02-11T111301Z_01_L1128632_RTRUKOC_0_US-KUWAIT-USA-PLANE.xml)

It was a World MD11, N272WA I believe.
