Kuwait, Saudis Join Forces To Combat Terror In Region


(MENAFN- Arab Times) Ambassador of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to Kuwait Dr Abdulaziz Al-Fayez says terrorism is an international phenomenon which is not exclusive to a specific religion or region. He added a Saudi-Kuwaiti joint movement is being established to dissuade the growing threats of terrorism and confrontation, reports Al-Qabas daily.

As regards the suspicions over some Saudi citizens involved in terrorist operations perpetrated inside Kuwait, he lamented some Saudi youth are misled through the radical ideas which they adopt, as some individuals are misled through their religious groups sowing ideas of jihad in soil of their minds. In an interview with the daily, he confirmed the security systems in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are coordinating at all levels, indicating the recent terrorist explosion at Imam Al-Sadiq Mosque bolstered cooperation and coordination between the two countries.
