Kuwait Jails Senior Official for Joining IS Jihadists
[An Nahar] Kuwait's supreme court on Sunday sentenced a top bureaucrat to 10 years in jail for joining and fighting with the Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... jihadist group in Syria and Iraq. The court also fined the unnamed Kuwaiti national, who was a top official at the Kuwait municipality, $30,000 and convicted him of calling other people to join the group. The ruling is final and cannot be challenged. Kuwaiti courts have sentenced a number of IS members, sympathizers and financiers to various jail terms. A lower court in December sentenced a Filipina to 10 years in jail after convicting her of joining the jihadist group and plotting attacks. Authorities in July said they had dismantled three IS cells plotting attacks, including a suicide kaboom against a Shiite mosque and against an interior ministry target. An IS-linked Saudi jacket wallah killed 26 worshipers in June 2015 when he went kaboom!in a mosque of Kuwait's Shiite minority, in the worst such attack in the Gulf state's history.
