Condemning the attack, Sheikh Nasser, in a press statement called on all Kuwaitis to be aware of the sedition that targets the country's stability, unity and security, and seeks to drive a wedge among all segments.

"Our fate is to offer martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the sake of the dear homeland. We can never forget the martyrs," Sheikh Nasser, who is also Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Martyr Office, said.
The Martyr Office will take care of the families of the victims, he noted, offering, on behalf of the office's staff, condolences to them and wishing those injured speedy recovery.
