The people thanked His Majesty for promoting development and housing projects in Muharraq and pledged allegiance to the King. n World ‘must tackle satanic Islamists’ KUWAIT CITY: The Amir of Kuwait said yesterday that his country had thwarted attempts to sow sectarian divisions after last month’s suicide bombing but warned that the world needs to do more to confront the “satanic” behaviour of Islamist Saudi’s veteran militants. An Islamic State suicide bomber blew himself up inside a Shi’ite mosque in the Western-allied Gulf Arab state on June 26, killing 27 people in the worst militant attack in a decade. Kuwaiti officials say the bombing appeared aimed at stoking sectarian hatred between Sunni and Shi’ite Muslims in the country. Three Saudi brothers who helped the bomber, who entered the country from Saudi Arabia hours before the attack, have been arrested, Kuwaiti and Saudi authorities said on Tuesday. diplomat dies n Yemen factions ‘agree truce’ RIYADH: Former SANAA: Yemen’s warring factions confirmed their Saudi Foreign agreement last night to a temporary humanitarian Minister Prince ceasefire set to begin on Friday night, UN envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed said.
