Kuwait busts ‘terrorist cell’ after bombing

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 Shiite 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 Mohammad 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.”
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.
“This is accelerate the process of their trial but without ignoring the procedures required under the law,” the minister said.
