DUBAI, June 7 (Reuters) - A Saudi man who returned from the United States has the new H1N1 flu virus, Saudi-owned Al Arabiya television reported on Sunday.

The Dubai-based network did not disclose the source of the report.

Earlier this month, Saudi Arabia confirmed its first case of the virus in a Filipina nurse who arrived by air from the Philippines.

Saudi Arabia's neighbour Kuwait said on May 24 that 18 U.S. soldiers had H1N1 flu in the first cases to hit the world's largest oil exporting region. Kuwait is a logistics base for the U.S. army for their Iraq operations. (Reporting by Inal Ersan; editing by Andrew Dobbie)
