While the rest of the country obsesses over the Supreme Court nationalizing marriage equality, the rest of the world was reminded that our enemies are still out there…and on the move.
Kuwait (Daily Mail):
At least 25 worshippers have been killed today after an Islamic State suicide bomber struck at a packed Kuwaiti mosque after Friday prayers.
Shocking photos show dozens of dead and wounded Muslims who were all observing the holy month of Ramadan in the Al-Imam al-Sadeq Shiite mosque in Kuwait City.
Witnesses said worshippers were standing shoulder-to-shoulder in group prayer when the bomb ripped through the building.
Grenoble, France (Daily Mail):
French President Francois Hollande, speaking in Brussels, said the attack began when a car crashed through the gate of the factory and ploughed into gas canisters, touching off an explosion.
‘No doubt about the intention – to cause an explosion,’ Mr Hollande said, calling the attack ‘of a terrorist nature’.
The victims’ head was found staked on a gate at the factory’s entrance, in what appeared to be an echo of the Islamic State group’s practice of beheading prisoners and displaying their heads for all to see.
An official said two flags – one white and one black, both with Arabic inscriptions – were found nearby.
Sousse, Tunisia (Daily Mail):
Gunmen have killed at least 27 people in an attack on two hotels at a popular holiday destination in Tunisia.
Militants, feared to be from ISIS, exchanged gunfire with security services on a beach packed with British holidaymakers.
The attack took place at the Al-Qantawi resort in the city of Sousse, around 140 kilometres south of the capital Tunis on the Mediterranean coast.
Local media have reported that those killed were mostly German and British tourists.
The body of one gunman lay at the scene with a Kalashnikov assault rifle after he was shot in an exchange of gunfire with police, it has been reported.
Islamic State has already claimed responsibility for Kuwaity City, and the attackers in Grenoble apparently flew the flag IS has expropriated as its own.
Prayers for the victims, and hopes that Washington keeps its eye on the ball.
