A Canadian man was shot dead and his wife seriously injured in a drive-by shooting as they strolled along a beach south of Kuwait City, security sources said.

The man, identified only as Luke, worked as an aircraft technician at the emirate's Ahmd al-Jabr airbase, the sources said.

His wife was hit by at least three bullets and was in intensive care in the nearby Al-Adan Adan hospital.

She told police that a car had stopped near where the couple were walking just before midnight and opened fire showering the couple with bullets.

Her husband died on the spot.

The sources did not rule out the possibility that the shooting was an act of terrorism.

It would be the first murder of a westerner in the Gulf Arab states since the launch of US-led air strikes on the Taliban regime in Afghanistan on Sunday.
