Two Confirmed Dead in Suicide Blast at Saudi Mosque
Earlier in summer, Saudi Arabia has been hit by a series of terror attacks. On July 4, 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, according to the Al Arabiya network.

The deadly blast followed two explosions in the eastern Saudi city of Qatif, and came 24 hours after another suicide attack in Jeddah.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks, however Daesh, outlawed in many countries including in Russia, is suspected to be behind the bombings.
