KUWAIT CITY: Kuwait has broken up a new three-member “terror” cell and seized large quantities of weapons, ammunition and explosives, the interior ministry said yesterday.
Three Kuwaitis were arrested and have confessed to joining a “terror” group, a statement said. Security forces seized “19 tonnes of ammunition”, 144kg of TNT, rocket propelled grenades, hand grenades, firearms and detonators, the ministry said.
It said the explosives were found in a farm in Abdali, near the border with Iraq, and in two houses in undisclosed locations.
At the end of July, Kuwait said it had broken up a five-member cell of alleged members of the Islamic State group.
