[AlAhram] Kuwait has broken up a new three-member "terror" cell and seized large amounts of weapons, ammunition and explosives, the interior ministry said on Thursday.

Three Kuwaiti citizens were incarcerated

and have confessed to joining a "terror" group, a statement said.

Security forces seized "19 tonnes of ammunition" as well as 144 kilos (316 pounds) of TNT, as well as rocket propelled grenades, hand grenades, firearms and detonators, the ministry said.
Definitely meets the definition of large amounts...
It said the explosives were found in a farm in Abdali, near the border with Iraq, and in two houses in undisclosed locations.

At the end of July, Kuwait said it had broken up a five-member cell of alleged members of 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group.

In June a Saudi bomber went kaboom! in a Shiite mosque in Kuwait City, killing 26 people and wounding hundreds. The jihadist IS group grabbed credit for the attack.

Last month, Kuwait said it had broken up a five-member cell of alleged IS holy warriors.
