(MENAFN- The Journal Of Turkish Weekly) The leader of the ISIL terrorist group's Bahrain branch announced that a terrorist attack similar to what happened in Kuwait City on Friday will happen in Bahrain next week.
"After Friday's explosion of Imam Sadiq mosque in Kuwait City, it will be Bahrain's turn next Friday," al-Quds al-Arabi quoted Taraki al-Ben Ali as saying.
At least 27 people were killed and over a dozen more were injured when a powerful explosion ripped through the Imam Sadiq Mosque in Kuwait City, Iran's Fars news agency reported on Saturday.
The bombing was carried out during the weekly Friday prayers at the mosque in the Sawabir district of the Kuwaiti capital.
The ISIL terrorist group later claimed responsibility for the attack.
Similar attacks were carried out by ISIL in Tunisia and France on Friday.
In Tunisia, at least 37 people died when two gunmen attacked the Port El Kantaoui tourist complex, 10 kilometers north of the town of Sousse.
In France, a truck driver, reportedly carrying a flag of the ISIL group, crashed into a gas factory located in the small town of Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, about 40 kilometers from Lyon, and hung his employer's severed head on a factory gate.
