Kuwait ‘terror’ cell busted

KUWAIT CITY: Kuwait’s interior minister said on Tuesday that the Gulf state has busted a “terror cell” responsible for the suicide bombing at a mosque and is hunting for others.
“We are in a state of war. Yes, we have busted this terror cell but there are other cells we are going to strike,” Sheikh Mohammed Khaled Al-Sabah told parliament during a special debate on Friday’s bombing.
He said the emirate has revised “all security measures, especially around mosques and all places of worship”.
A Saudi suicide bomber blew himself up in a mosque in Kuwait City during Friday noon prayers, killing 26 people and wounding 227.
Of an unspecified number of suspects arrested, five have been referred to the public prosecution service, including the driver who took the bomber to the scene of the attack and the owner of the car.
Justice and Islamic Affairs Minister Yacoub al-Sane told parliament that the supreme judicial council has decided to create a special court to try the suspects in the case.
