KUWAIT, Sept 29 (KUNA) -- Kuwaiti security forces have arrested an Arab national over suspected links to a banned group that seeks to tamper with national security and destabilize the political system, the interior ministry said on Monday. Thorough investigations reveal that the suspect planned to carry out a "terrorist" attack targeting places of worship, with materials used in the manufacture of explosive devices having been found at his home, according to a ministry statement. The suspect's arrest is part of the interior ministry's "preemptive efforts" to protect Kuwait's security and keep national stability intact, the statement underlined, vowing to take firm action against any potential threats.
