KUWAIT CITY — Kuwaitis honked car horns, beat drums and draped skyscrapers in giant neon flags Friday to celebrate the second anniversary of their Persian Gulf War liberation.

The square and central streets were jammed overnight with revelers spraying each other with canned foam colored in the black, white, green and red of the national flag.
