On Sunday, authorities in Kuwait announced on Sunday that they had detained a young Saudi Arabian man, Fahd Suliman Abdul-Muhsen al-Qabaa, who they accused of carrying out a bombing attack at a Shi’ite Muslim mosque, Reuters reports. The attack on Friday left 27 people dead.

After Saudi Arabia demanded that Bashar al-Assad "stop the killing machine" in Syria and recalled its ambassador, Kuwait has followed suit, although with much softer language: "We have decided to recall our ambassador from Syria for consultations."
