Kuwaiti authorities have identified the suicide bomber behind an attack on a Shia mosque that killed 27 people as a Saudi citizen who arrived in the country just hours before he blew himself up.
The interior ministry named the bomber as Fahad Suleiman Abdulmohsen al-Gabbaa and said he was born in 1992. It said in a statement carried by the official Kuwait News Agency that he arrived on a flight to Kuwait International airport at dawn on Friday.
