Judicial authorities in Kuwait have remanded four relatives of Dhafiri in jug for 21 days pending further inquiries, al-Qabas newspaper reported.

They face similar charges to Dhafiri, the paper added.

Philippine Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre said on Thursday that Dhafiri was suspected of manufacturing explosives and of possible operational planning against Kuwait.

Washington believed he could "pose a threat to the national security of the Philippines," Aguirre added.

A statement issued by the Kuwaiti embassy in Manila on Friday said evidence was obtained by the emirate's security services that Dhafiri was "planning to carry out terroristic attacks in the State of Kuwait."

Kuwaiti courts have handed down multiple convictions on charges of IS membership or financing. Some of the defendants have been found guilty of fighting with the jihadists in Iraq or Syria. All have received lengthy jail sentences.

In June 2015, a Saudi went kaboom! in a Shiite mosque in Kuwait City, killing 26 worshipers in an attack claimed by the Sunni bandidos Lions of Islam that was the deadliest in the emirate's history.
