Kuwaiti security forces have detained a suspected Islamist militant who rammed a truck believed to be carrying explosives into a car carrying five Americans, state news agency KUNA reported on Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The agency quoted an interior ministry statement as saying the Americans were unhurt, but the assailant, identified as Egyptian national Ibrahim Suleiman, was injured and was taken to a hospital under security escort.<\/p>\n

“After an initial investigation of the suspect Suleiman, who was born in 1988, by specialised security apparatus, a hand-written note was found indicating that he had adopted the terrorist Daesh ideology and pledged allegiance to this organisation,” KUNA said, referring to Islamic State.<\/p>\n

The agency published a photo of a bearded man. It said a belt and materials believed to be explosives were also found in the vehicle, “suggesting he was plotting a terrorist act”.<\/p>\n

It was the second time in three months that Western-allied Kuwait had announced it had captured suspected militants.<\/p>\n

In July, the OPEC oil exporter and home to U.S. military bases said it had foiled three planned Islamic State attacks on the country, including a plot to blow up a Shi’ite mosque.<\/p>\n

Kuwait suffered its deadliest militant attack in decades in June last year when a Saudi suicide bomber blew himself up inside a packed Shi’ite mosque, killing 27 people. Islamic State claimed responsibility.<\/p>\n

A U.S. ally and neighbour of Saudi Arabia and Iraq, Kuwait is part of a 34-nation alliance announced by Riyadh in December aimed at countering Islamic State and al Qaeda in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
