Kuwait Mosque Hit By IS Suicide Bomb -leaving Many Dead by plowman(m): 8:40pm On Jun 26, 2016
The wood paneling bearing Quranic verses gleams inside the Imam Sadiq Mosque and the carpeting is soft underfoot for worshippers who come to pray in what is one of Kuwait's oldest Shiite mosques — and the site of the country's worst militant attack in modern history.It's been a year since an Islamic State suicide attacker, his explosives' vest hidden under traditional male white robes, interrupted prayers to shout "God is Great" in Arabic before blowing himself up.
He killed at least 27 people and wounded 227 in a day of violence during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, a day that also saw shootings on a Tunisian beach resort and an attack on a U.S.-owned factory in France. The Islamic State group later claimed responsibility for the Kuwait bombing, along with the attack in Tunisia.
Since that day of carnage, Kuwait has rebuilt the mosque and flooded billboards and social media with calls for unity in this small nation of 3 million people. But regional tensions between Sunni and Shiite Muslims still ripple through Kuwait, as fears about possible further attacks by IS linger.
"Kuwait is certainly not immune to the sectarian tension in the area," Kuwait University political science professor Shafeeq Ghabra said. "Sectarianism is one symptom of so many issues."
The Imam Sadiq Mosque, named after a historically revered Shiite figure, is tucked into the capital's al-Sawabir neighborhood on a street of boutique restaurants popular with the oil-rich emirate's chic socialites. It survived Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait and the expulsion of Saddam Hussein's troops by U.S.-led forces the following year.
