Islamic State issues audio clip purporting to be of Kuwait bomber

Dubai: Islamic State released an audio clip purporting to be a posthumous statement by a militant who killed 27 people in a suicide bombing attack on a Kuwait mosque on Friday.

The statement consisted largely of Koranic verses and was released on social media channels used by Islamic State. The speaker criticises Shi`ite Muslims and says they can expect revenge for what he terms insulting Islam. 

Kuwaiti authorities have identified the bomber as Fahd Suliman Abdul-Muhsen al-Qabaa, a Saudi. Reuters was unable to immediately verify the authenticity of the statement.
