Abu Dhabi - Arab Today

Kuwait was set to begin questioning on Tuesday of a suspected Daesh group deported from the Philippines as it remanded four relatives in custody, the emirate's media reported. 

Hussein Al Dhafiri was arrested in an upscale district of Manila late last month along with his Syrian wife Rahaf Zina on suspicion of being members of Daesh and of planning attacks in both countries. 

He was deported to Kuwait on Friday to stand trial in his home country on charges of membership of a banned organisation and of plotting attacks. 

His wife, whom he married after her high-ranking Daesh commander husband was killed in Syria, remains in custody in the Philippines pending deportation to Qatar, from where she entered the islands. 

Judicial authorities in Kuwait have remanded four relatives of Dhafiri in custody for 21 days pending further inquiries, Al Qabas newspaper reported. 

They face similar charges to Dhafiri, the paper added. 

Philippine Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre said on Thursday that Dhafiri was suspected of manufacturing explosives and of possible operational planning against Kuwait. 

Washington believed he could "pose a threat to the national security of the Philippines," Aguirre added. 

A statement issued by the Kuwaiti embassy in Manila on Friday said evidence was obtained by the emirate's security services that Dhafiri was "planning to carry out terroristic attacks in the State of Kuwait."

Kuwaiti courts have handed down multiple convictions on charges of Daesh membership or financing. Some of the defendants have been found guilty of fighting with the militants in Iraq or Syria. All have received lengthy jail sentences.

In June 2015, a Saudi blew himself up in a mosque in Kuwait City, killing 26 worshippers in an attack claimed by the extremists that was the deadliest in the emirate's history.
