An Islamic State suicide attack on a Shiite mosque in Kuwait City killed 27 a year ago. The Saudi attack took place early Monday when security officers confronted a man acting suspiciously near the United States Consulate in the coastal city of Jidda. Kuwait also said it had arrested and repatriated a Kuwaiti man who had joined the Islamic State in Syria, as well as his mother and son. The Islamic State has heaped scorn on Saudi Arabia and its royal family in recent years and has staged numerous attacks inside the kingdom, mostly targeting Shiite mosques and Saudi security personnel. He detonated his explosives, killing himself and wounding two guards, according to a report by the state-run Saudi Press Agency.
