| [AnNahar] Kuwaiti security authorities have broken up three 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.... cells plotting "terror" attacks in the oil-rich Gulf state, the interior ministry said Monday. Five Kuwaiti nationals were incarcerated Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! , including a policeman and a woman, who all confessed to plotting attacks against a Shiite mosque and an interior ministry target, the ministry said in a statement. All members of the three cells also confessed to being members of the Islamic State jihadist group. Kuwaiti police are still looking for a Gulf man and an Asian who assisted one of the cells, the ministry said. The action against the Islamist cells comes a year after an IS-linked Saudi jacket wallah went kaboom!in a Shiite mosque, killing 26 worshipers in the worst attack in Kuwait. A court sentenced one man to death and jugged Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! eight others for assisting the Saudi bomber. Among those arrested in the latest police action was 18-year old Talal Raja who confessed to have been plotting a suicide kaboom against a Shiite mosque and an interior ministry installation by the end of the Moslem fasting month of Ramadan on Tuesday, the ministry said. The second cell consisted of a mother and son who were arrested in Syria in the IS-controlled Raqa and brought back to Kuwait, the ministry said. It provided no details of how they were arrested. The 28-year old son had cut short his petroleum engineering study in Britannia to join the IS after his younger brother was killed while fighting for the group in Iraq, the ministry said. The third cell comprised of two Kuwaitis, one of them a policeman, who were seized along with two Kalashnikov rifles and ammunition. The pair confessed to plotting attacks in the country, the ministry said. In November last year, Kuwaiti police busted an international cell led by a Lebanese man that was sending air defense systems and funds to the Islamic State group. Several suspected IS members and sympathizers were tried in the Gulf emirate for a suicide kaboom last month claimed by the group. |
