KUWAIT CITY — Kuwaiti authorities have apprehended the person suspected of setting fire to a wedding tent and killing 41 people and said Monday the motive was personal. Newspapers reported the groom’s ex-wife was the arsonist.

The inferno Saturday night in the tribal area of al-Jahra, west of Kuwait City, ate up the women’s tent in three minutes and left behind bodies so charred they were unrecognizable. Guests likely crushed one another in an attempt to flee. It was still unclear whether the bride had survived.
