On 26 June 2015, a suicide bomber detonated an explosives-laden vest at the Imam Sadiq Mosque, where 2000 Shi’ite Muslims were attending Friday prayers. The attack killed 27 people and injured 227 others. The suicide bomber, Fahd Suliman Abdul-Muhsen al-Qabaa, was a citizen of Saudi Arabia and had flown into Kuwait mere hours before the strike and was in the country illegally. The attack was claimed by ISIL in a video of al-Qabaa published posthumously.
