KUWAIT CITY — Kuwaiti has arrested a citizen identified as Abdulla Hadi Abdul Rehman Al-Enezi for suspected links to Daesh (the so-called IS) terror outfit, media reports said on Saturday.

Enezi’s arrest report comes a day after Kuwait announced the arrest of a Filipina who joined Daesh through its affiliate in Libya and who planned to launch an attack.

The Interior Ministry said the woman, born in 1984, entered Kuwait last June as a house maid. Security forces monitoring the woman’s email found messages by the woman to the Daesh group’s Libyan affiliate, pledging allegiance to the group.

“She confessed she was ready to carry out any terrorist attack once circumstances and means were ripe in order to undermine security and stability in Kuwait, as well as ignite sedition,” the state-run Kuwait News Agency reported.

The Kuwaiti authorities said that Enezi, a Kuwaiti national, sent $1,000 to one Areeb Majeed through Western Union.

Enezi has also confessed of having backed terrorist organizations and involved in financing of terrorism.
