Security authorities identified the suspect and took him into custody, reports Al-Rai daily.

The sources confirmed that the accused admitted to owning the account and publishing the offensive content. It was also revealed that he is the son of naturalized citizen, which was a factor in the decision to revoke his Kuwaiti citizenship.
