Kuwait put to death five people on Thursday, including a man convicted of involvement in a 2015 ISIS group suicide bombing that killed 26 people, the Public Prosecution said.
In a statement, the Public Prosecution said it oversaw the “implementation of the death sentence in Kuwait’s Central Prison” against five people, most of them accused of murder, reports Al-Arabiya News.
They include Abdulrahman Sabah Saud – the main convict in the 2015 bombing that struck a Shia mosque in the capital during Friday prayers. It was the bloodiest attack in Kuwait’s history.
The other men executed on Thursday included a Kuwaiti, an Egyptian and a bedoun, all of whom had been convicted of murder.
A Sri Lankan was put to death on drug charges.
The Public Prosecution said all five were executed by hanging.
