Kuwait Forces Thwart Eid Al-Fitr Attacks by ISIS Terrorists

Kuwait Forces Thwart Eid Al-Fitr Attacks by ISIS Terrorists

Alwaght- Kuwaiti security officials say they have foiled three major terrorist attacks planned by the ISIS terrorist group, the country’s Interior Ministry said.

"The Interior Ministry said on Sunday it foiled three terrorist plots targeting the country's security by directing three pre-emptive raids inside and outside Kuwait against terrorist elements of the ISIS," said a statement published by KUNA news agency on Monday 4 July.

According to the agency, in the first operation, security agencies arrested ISIS member Talal Naif Raja, a Kuwaiti who was planning to carry several bombings against a Jaafari mosque in Hawali Governorate and a Ministry of Interior's facility.

Raja confessed he had sworn allegiance to the terrorist group and was planning to execute his attack at the end of Ramadan or during the first days of Eid Al-Fitr.

In the second operation, security agencies captured Kuwaiti Mohammad Omar, his mother Kuwaiti Hessa Abdullah Mohammad, and his Syrian son from abroad. The interior ministry stated that it took several attempts to bring the three back to Kuwait from the Syrian-Iraqi border. Omar confessed he had left Britain to join Isis at the encouragement of his mother, who had also encouraged his brother Abdullah to join. Abdullah was reportedly killed in Iraq.

In July 2015, the Persian Gulf monarchy, home to several US military bases, suffered its first ever ISIS-claimed attack, when a blast targeting a Shiite mosque killed 27 people and injured over 200. Kuwaiti Shiite Muslims make up around one-third of the country's native population of 1.3 million people.
