Alwaght- It has emerged that the ISIS terrorist who carried out a deadly bomb attack on a Shiite Mosque in Kuwait was a Saudi national.
A statement carried by Kuwaiti Interior Ministry identified the terrorist as Fahd Suleiman Abdulmohsen al-Qaba'a. The ministry said that Qaba'a entered the country through Kuwait Airport early Friday, the same day of the bombing.
The deadly attack carried out during the weekly Friday prayers on June 26 at Imam Sadiq (PBUH) Mosque in Kuwait City, left 26 worshipers dead and over 220 others injured. The ISIS terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attack.
Earlier on Sunday, Kuwaiti police arrested the driver of the car that transported the terrorist bomber to the site of the attack.
The owner of the house where the bomber was staying is also under police custody and he was described by the interior ministry as a Kuwaiti national who subscribes to "extremist and deviant ideology".
The driver, named as Abdulrahman Sabah Eidan Saud, was described as an "illegal resident" born in 1989. Authorities on Saturday arrested the owner of the car, Jarrah Nimr Mejbil Ghazi, born in 1988, and also listed as a stateless person.
The terrorist attack on the Shiite Mosque in Kuwait on Friday drew widespread international condemnation and calls for concerted efforts to combat and eradicate terrorism.
