Article 151 of Kuwaiti Penal Code

English translation

Premeditation is the determination to commit the act sufficiently in advance of its execution to allow the perpetrator calm deliberation. Lying in wait is the perpetrator's waiting for his victim in a place he believes suitable for carrying out the act by surprise. Both premeditation and lying in wait are deemed to exist even if execution of the act was contingent upon a condition, or the act was committed against someone other than the intended person.
Arabic original
سبق الاصرار هو التصميم على ارتكاب الفعل قبل تنفيذه بوقت كاف يتاح فيه للفاعل التروي في هدوء، والترصد هو انتظار الفاعل ضحيته في مكان يعتقد ملاءمته لتنفيذ الفعل على نحو مفاجئ. ويعد كل من سبق الاصرار والترصد متوافرا ولو كان تنفيذ الفعل معلقا على شرط، أو وقع الفعل على غير الشخص المقصود.
