Saudi Arabia Detains 19 Medina Terrorist Attack Suspects
22:33 GMT 07.07.2016 (Updated: 04:35 GMT 08.07.2016) A total of 19 suspects who are believed to be connected to the recent terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabian cities of Medina, Jeddah and Qatif have been detained, a spokesperson for country's Interior Ministry said Friday.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The majority of those detained, namely 12 are citizens of Pakistan and seven are from Saudi Arabia, a spokesperson said as quoted by Saudi Press Agency. The identity of the perpetrator has also been revealed — a 26-years old suicide bomber of Saudi Arabian origin was behind the attack on the Prophet's Mosque in Medina.
On Monday, an assailant set off an explosive device at the Prophet’s Mosque parking lot in Medina, targeting security forces reportedly breaking their fast on the second-to-last day of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, leaving four of them dead. The deadly blast followed two explosions in the eastern Saudi city of Qatif, and came 24 hours after another suicide attack in Jeddah where no one was injured.
