KUWAIT CITY
Nicolas Lombaerts World Cup Jersey , June 26 (Xinhua) -- More than 10 people people were killed or wounded on Friday in a suicide bomb strike on a Shiite Muslim mosque, while the Islamic State (IS) militant group claimed responsibility for the attack, according to media reports.
According to the official Kuwait News Agency, a blast rocked the Imam Sadiq Mosque, located in the busy neighborhood of al-Sawabir of the capital city.
The report also confirmed that there were a number of casualties and injuries
Nacer Chadli World Cup Jersey , yet did not give exact figures.
At the explosion scene, local police has cordoned off the mosque and the surrounding area, and asked residents to stay away from the site, while ambulances were seen ferrying the wounded.
The IS group has claimed the deadly attack in a statement posted on the Internet, saying that the suicide bomber's name was Abu Suleiman al-Muwahed
Mousa Dembele World Cup Jersey , and the target was a "temple of the rejectionists," which refers to Shiite Muslims by the extremist militants.
If proven to be true, then it is not the first time for the IS group to plot and carry out such attacks against mosques. It has claimed responsibility for bombings at two different Shiite mosques in neighboring Saudi Arabia in recent weeks.
On March 20, IS suicide bombers also attacked two mosques in Yemen's capital Sanaa and Houthi headquarters in the northern Saada province, killing at least 137 people
Michy Batshuayi World Cup Jersey , the most deadliest attacks in Yemen for decades.
Causalities are expected to grow as Friday's midday prayers have always been the most attended of the week, while the number of people joining the prayers would increase during Muslims' holy month of Ramadan that started on June 18.

In 1953 the Brooklyn Dodgers made history by starting five players of African descent (Americans Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Don Newcombe and Jim Gilliam, plus Cuban Sandy Amoros). It was the first time that more than half the starting players on a major league baseball team were black.
Last year a similar moment took place in collegiate lacrosse when the Baltimore Sun reported that Virginia fielded a midfield made up of all African American athletes for about 30 seconds in the third quarter until Rhamel Bratton scored a goal and the lines were changed.
Drew Pannell and Ryland Huyghue are both founding members of the International Diversity Lacrosse Council (IDLC). According to the Sun, the IDLC
Marouane Fellaini World Cup Jersey , founded in 2007, provides services and programs that impact inner city and other under served communities.
?There is major significance here,? Huyghue told the Sun. ?The fact is that there are less than two percent of African American athletes playing the sport of lacrosse. It shows the sport has no color boundaries and that anyone of any background can play the sport and play it well. It also shows that the coach is looking at them as athletes whom he has confidence in to get the job done. What happened on the field that Saturday was a major advancement in the sport of lacrosse.?
When many Americans think of lacrosse their minds flash back to the Duke lacrosse rape case which ended in the charges dropped against the accused players and severe penalties against the local prosecutor for misconduct. In this case, the alleged victim was African American, the accused were Caucasian
Luis Pedro Cavanda World Cup Jersey , and there was one African American athlete on the team.
At the height of the coverage, Duke African American athlete and lacrosse player Devon Sherwood stepped forward and told ABC News that his white teammates were being stereotyped and were victims of reverse discrimination. Sherwood also said that members of the black community in Durham accused him of selling out the race because of his Duke scholarship and his position in the traditionally white sport. ?It?s terrible to find yourself being stereotyped,? Sherwood told ABC News, ?regardless of who you are.?
Major League Lacrosse claims that African American athlete participation in the sport is growing. Former All Star Goalie Bill Daye, an African American who had to retire because of a neck injury
Laurent Depoitre World Cup Jersey , is bullish on the progress he has seen.
?I think it?s great for lacrosse that more African American players are involved and it has made the game more diverse,? Daye said. ?When I began playing I was one of the few black athletes involved and sometimes I took some heat for it because it was thought of as a sport in which only white athletes participated.
?I simply fell in love with the game as I?m sure other African American players have. For that sole reason it should not matter what color your skin is but how you perform when you step on the field.? Daye particularly cited John Christmas, Damien Davis and Kyle Harrison as examples of what African American Athletes can accomplish as prejudices and barriers fall and more opportunity is realized. ?I hope they will pave the road for more black lacrosse players to follow,? he said.
?Lacrosse has never had a platform like the NBA, NFL
Laurent Ciman World Cup Jersey , or Major League Baseball, said Joshua Christian, Managing Director of Sports Development at US Lacrosse. Lacrosse doesn t have those iconic figures like Michael Jordan..
