Risks:

During the invasion, Asrar was courageous, and pulled off many daring stunts. Asrar managed to deceive the Iraqis who guarded the Ministry of Civil Information by pretending to be an Indian worker. She was then able to get her hand on the discs of the public institution and smuggled them to Saudi Arabia. After that, Asrar returned to Kuwait with a fake identity, Sara Mubarak. This was not easy considering she had to pass the border, where there were half a million Iraqi soldiers. She also made sure none of the accounts from the Central Bank of Kuwait were acquired by the Iraqis. Asrar would regularly send in reports about the condition in Kuwait to the Kuwaiti government headquarters, who in Taef, Saudi Arabia, at that time. This was never easy for Asrar, and to make everything worse she was put in situations where she had to kill Iraqi soldiers.

Joining the resistance movement:

August 2nd, 1990 also known as "Black Thursday" was the day Iraq invaded Kuwait . Saddam wanted to completely eradicate Kuwait's existence from the world, so he invaded Kuwait, tortured its people, tormented them and took away their homes, families and lives. The Kuwaitis were absolutely terrified from his actions, not from the mental and physical torture, or the killing and destroying, but from his attempt at taking away their own homeland. Asrar's patriotism made her immediately spring into action and join the resistance movement. Her main role in the Kuwaiti resistance was to gather and send information, to the groups that she's working with. The destruction of her country stimulated Asrar's great pride and patriotism towards her country. This caused her to join the resistance and fight for her country's life.
