Kuwait has arrested 24 people as part of an investigation into the "financing of terrorist entities,” authorities said late Saturday.
Kuwait's Interior Ministry said it had "thwarted a plot targeting the undermining of the homeland's security and the financing of terrorist entities and organizations.”
"The State Security Agency succeeded in apprehending 24 citizens, one of whom had his citizenship revoked, in possession of financial sums linked to illicit activities," it added in a statement on X.
The Ministry said the financing was "part of an organized activity involving the collection of funds under religious pretexts... in preparation for their transfer in accordance with instructions from outside the country.”
