A suicide bomber has killed four security officers and injured five others near one of Islam’s holiest sites in the Saudi city of Medina, according to the interior ministry.
The bomber struck as the officers were breaking their Ramadan fast near the Prophet’s Mosque, al-Arabiya TV says.
The mosque is the burial place of the Prophet Muhammad and Medina the second-holiest city in Islam after Mecca.
Blasts also struck two other Saudi cities on Monday.
Guess who the prime suspect is. No prizes for correct answers.
A series of deadly attacks worldwide were either claimed by, or blamed on, IS over the past week:
- A suicide gun and bomb attack targeted Istanbul airport on 28 June. The death toll rose to 45, with 240 injured.
- Attackers struck a cafe in Bangladesh’s capital, Dhaka, last Friday night. Twenty hostages and two policemen were killed.
- And a massive truck bomb in Iraq’s capital, Baghdad, on Sunday left at least 165 people dead.
Allahu akbar.
Since the Mosque siege in 1979, the Saudis have sustained their Devil’s bargain with Wahhabism. Exporting their Fred Phelps style ‘moderate’ Islam all over the world.
It won’t work. They’be poisoned their own well too.
Everywhere.
