None
Kuwait has uncovered a network of Islamic State militants who fought in Iraq and Syria and detained several of its members, the interior ministry said on Thursday.
The group included five Kuwaitis, a ministry statement carried by the official KUNA state news agency said. The individuals admitted receiving lessons in the "science of a terrorist organisation" and military training, the statement said. "They were involved in fighting operations in both Syria and Iraq." The Gulf state launched a security crackdown on Islamist militants after a June 26 attack claimed by Islamic State, when a Saudi suicide bomber blew himself up inside a Shi'ite Muslim mosque, killing 26 people.
