Twenty-four people were killed and 25 wounded in a suicide bombing at a Shiite mosque in Kuwait where worshippers had gathered for Friday prayers during the holy month of Ramadan, news agencies reported. The Islamic State terrorist group (Daesh) claimed responsibility for the attack, according to a statement circulated on social media which could not be immediately verified. Photos and amateur video from the scene at the packed al-Sadiq mosque in Kuwait City showed men with white robes covered in blood. The Kuwaiti cabinet was set to convene an emergency session, as the head of the top Islamic council in the country, Yakoub al Sanea, condemned the "terrorist" attack, according to state news agency Kuna.
