Kuwaiti mosque hit by bombing reopens

The Kuwaiti mosque hit by Daesh terror group has reopened. It’s been a year since a suicide attacker blew himself up inside the Imam Sadiq Mosque.
He killed at least 27 people and wounded 227 in a day of violence during the holy month of Ramadan, a day that also saw shootings on a Tunisian beach resort and an attack on a US-owned factory in France. Daesh later claimed responsibility for the Kuwait bombing, along with the attack in Tunisia.
Since that day of carnage, Kuwait has rebuilt the mosque and flooded billboards and social media with calls for unity in this small nation of three million people. But fears about possible further attacks by Daesh still linger.
The mosque is tucked into the capital’s Al-Sawabir neighborhood on a street of boutique restaurants popular with the oil-rich emirate’s chic socialites. 
It survived Iraq’s 1990 invasion of Kuwait and the expulsion of Saddam Hussein’s troops by US-led forces the following year.
The powerful explosion tore into the mosque’s ceiling, spread blood across its floors and sent debris flying.
Minutes after the attack, Kuwaiti ruler Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah stood at the site, surrounded by the crowds.
“Those are my sons,” he said, speaking of the victims, local media reported at the time.
