The Kuwaiti government has announced that the opening session of the National Assembly, originally scheduled for April 17, will be postponed until May 14. This decision comes as ongoing consultations continue regarding the appointment of a new prime minister. Caretaker Prime Minister Sheikh Muhammad Sabah Al-Salem reportedly apologized for failing to form the next government, leading to discussions about potentially appointing Sheikh Ahmed Al-Abdullah for the role.
In a separate development, the Kuwaiti Public Prosecution has referred 12 high school students to trial for state security crimes related to their involvement with ISIS. Investigations revealed that these students were not only members of ISIS but also encouraged others to join the group and spread its ideologies.
According to an informed source, some of these events came to light during investigations with members of terrorist cells who had been recently arrested. Others were identified through individual cases where students were monitored by the Ministry of Interior for their association with ISIS. The source confirmed that the juveniles charged with state security crimes openly expressed their support for ISIS through social media posts and videos, with some even attempting to recruit their peers into terrorist activities.
Despite these disturbing revelations, many of the juvenile students who were approached by terrorist cells refused to partake in their criminal plans and promptly informed their families and authorities. By reporting these incidents, these students were able to distance themselves from any accusations of involvement with ISIS.
