Translated by Qiyas from القبس — Original source
The Court of Appeal’s State Security Division, presided over by Counselor Abdullah Al-Sanea and with counselors Mohammed Jaafar and Hamoud Al-Badr as members, sentenced an Egyptian defendant to five years in prison after convicting him of belonging to the “Daesh” (ISIS) organization, receiving training in the use of explosives and improvised explosive devices, and plotting to target Hussainiyas in Kuwait, as well as publicly insulting the Amir. State security forces, represented by the State Security Apparatus, had apprehended the defendant after monitoring his movements and investigating his plot, which aimed to carry out a bombing attack against places of worship. Surveillance operations led to the discovery at his residence of equipment and materials used in the manufacture of explosives, as well as information related to their preparation and use.
