| Kuwait's Shi'ites mourn blast victims and lament sectarianism |
|
 By Angus McDowall KUWAIT (Reuters) - As a body passed, shrouded in Kuwait's flag, dozens of hands were raised from the crowd to support the bier and help carry it towards the Shi'ite Muslim cemetery where most victims of Friday's Islamic State mosque attack were buried on Saturday. Among the thousands of Shi'ite mourners at the Jaafari cemetery in the Sulaibkhat district of Kuwait City, shock and grief were tempered by a grim sense of resignation that a long-feared attack on their community had finally taken place. Relations between Islam's main sects have traditionally been less fraught in Kuwait than in other Gulf Arab states.

| Kuwait arrests suspects in mosque attack, mourns dead |
|
 By Ahmed Hagagy and Angus McDowall KUWAIT (Reuters) - Kuwait detained the owner of a car that took a bomber to a Shi'ite mosque to carry out the country's worst ever militant attack, officials said on Saturday, as thousands calling for national unity turned out to bury some of the 27 killed. Militant group Islamic State claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing against 2,000 worshippers praying at the Imam al-Sadeq mosque on Friday, one of three attacks on three continents that day apparently linked to hardline Islamists. Officials said the bombing was clearly meant to stir enmity between majority Sunnis and minority Shi'ites and harm the comparatively harmonious ties between the sects in Kuwait.

| Big business on winning side in U.S. top court's major rulings |
|
 By Lawrence Hurley WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Big business was on the winning side in the U.S. Supreme Court's two major cases of the year, with hundreds of employers pushing hard in favor of gay marriage and the healthcare industry backing the insurance subsidies available under Obamacare. The court on Thursday rejected a conservative challenge to President Barack Obama's healthcare law on a 6-3 vote and, a day later, ruled 5-4 that gay marriage should be legal nationwide. Both cases were largely seen through the lens of national ideological wars, with liberals backing gay marriage and Obamacare and conservatives opposing them.

| French police question delivery man over beheading |
|
 By Michel Rose LYON, France (Reuters) - French authorities are questioning a 35-year-old delivery man of North African origin over a suspected Islamist attack involving the beheading of his boss and an attempt to blow up a U.S.-owned chemicals plant in southeastern France. President Francois Hollande, dealing with new security fears less than six months after 17 people were killed by Islamist gunmen at satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish foodstore in Paris, said the incident clearly amounted to a terrorist attack. Yassim Salhi is suspected of having rammed his delivery van into a warehouse of gas containers, triggering an initial explosion.
