The motive for the June 2015 suicide bombing at the Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq Mosque in Kuwait was to incite sectarian violence between Sunni and Shia Muslims and destabilize Kuwait's tradition of peaceful coexistence. The attack was claimed by the Islamic State (IS) militant group, specifically its regional affiliate known as the Najd Province. Motives and Goals: Sectarian Hatred: The Islamic State views Shia Muslims as heretics and routinely targets Shia places of worship. Disrupting Tolerance: Kuwait had long been praised for managing its Sunni-Shia divide peacefully. The bombing was deliberately designed to shatter this harmony and spark internal sectarian conflict. Campaign: The attack occurred during the holy month of Ramadan, shortly after IS leadership released audio urging followers to escalate attacks against Shia communities across the Arabian Peninsula. Although the suicide bomber was a Saudi national named Fahd Suleiman Abdulmohsen al-Qaba'a, the operation was part of the broader regional strategy of the Islamic State rather than an official act by the Saudi government.
