Kuwait foiled three planned Islamic State attacks on the country, including a plot to blow up a Shiite mosque, after conducting raids that resulted in the arrest of militants, the state news agency KUNA reported on Monday.

“Kuwait security agencies have carried out three pre-emptive operations in Kuwait and abroad that led to derailing a number of Islamic State plots targeting Kuwait and arresting several I.S. members,” the Interior Ministry said in a statement on KUNA.

The statement included pictures of a veiled, middle-aged woman and five young men. One of them, it said, was a Kuwaiti citizen who had joined the Islamic State and planned to bomb a mosque and an Interior Ministry building during the Eid holiday, which comes at the end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month.

A year ago, Kuwait, home to several American military bases, suffered its deadliest militant attack in decades when a Saudi suicide bomber detonated inside a packed Shiite mosque, killing 27 people. The Islamic State claimed responsibility.
