2015-07-15
If it's violence at a mosque there are probably Paks involved.
[DAWN] Kuwait charged 29 people on Tuesday over the suicide kaboom of a Shia mosque last month, claimed by the self-styled 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, that killed 26 people and maimed more than 200.

The attack, carried out by a Saudi, was the worst in Kuwait's history.

Those charged included seven Kuwaitis, five Saudis, three Paks, 13 stateless people known as bedouins, and another person on the lam, the prosecution said, cited by the official KUNA news agency.

Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try!
, 24 have been detained in Kuwait and the remaining five will be tried in absentia. Among the latter are two Saudi brothers who allegedly transported the explosives into Kuwait and are being held in Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
.

The prosecution charged two of the suspects with premeditated murder and attempted murder. Two others were charged with training in the use of explosives, nine with assisting in committing the crime and the rest with knowing of the attack without informing the authorities.

An IS-affiliated group calling itself Najd Province grabbed credit for the bombing and also said it carried out suicide kabooms at two Shia mosques in Saudi Arabia earlier in May.

IS considers Shias to be heretics and has targeted them across the region.

On Monday, the Kuwaiti cabinet decided to set up a permanent committee to "fight against all forms of terrorism and extremism," and it will coordinate among various bodies in a bid to ensure security.
