(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) The terrorist bomb attack, that hit at Imam Al-Sadiq Mosque in downtown Kuwait City and left 27 deaths and 227 injured among the worshippers on Friday, continues to draw condemnations from across the world on Sunday.
The Jeddah-based International Islamic Fiqh Academy (IIFA) said in a statement the despicable bombing which left scores of martyrs made light of the sanctities of the mosque, the holy month of Ramadan, the holy Friday, and the Muslim blood.
The Academy denounced, in the strongest terms, all acts of violence against innocent people and warned of the abominable sectarianism which poses a serious threat to the unity and stability of societies.
It also condemned the deadly bomb attacks on tourists in a hotel in Sousse, Tunisia, and a US gas company near Leon, France, on Friday too.
The Academy urged Muslim scholar, politicians and media people to shoulder their responsibilities for combating terrorism and preserving the social texture of the Arab and Muslim countries.
Meanwhile, Kuwaiti Minister of Information and Minister of State for Youth Affairs Sheikh Salman Sabah Al-Salem Al-Humoud Al-Sabah received a phone call from Egyptian Minister of Youth Khaled Abdulaziz who denounced "the shameful attack on unarmed worshippers." The Egyptian minister reaffirmed his country's solidarity with Kuwait in the combat against terrorism and stated readiness to share intelligence in this regard, according to a press release by the Kuwaiti Ministry of Information.
He also expressed condolences to the families of the victims and wished those wounded quick recovery.
In Cairo, the Egyptian anti-terrorism center expressed similar sentiments and expressed best wishes for Kuwait at the current hardship.
