A Saudi Arabian man wanted in connection with a deadly 2015 bombing in the kingdom detonated an explosive device in Jeddah as security forces attempted to arrest him, killing himself and injuring four others.
Saudi news agency SPA, reporting the incident yesterday, identified the man as Abdullah bin Zayed Al Shehri.
Al Shehri detonated the explosive belt on Wednesday in Jeddah’s Al Samer neighbourhood, injuring three members of the security forces, who were seeking to arrest him, and a Pakistani national, SPA reported. The injured, who were not named, were taken to hospital.
Bahrain, meanwhile, stressed its unwavering solidarity with Saudi Arabia against all threats to its security and stability and affirmed its support to the measures taken to protect the safety and security of its citizens and residents.
The Foreign Ministry commended the efficiency and vigilance of the security forces in Saudi Arabia and also wished those injured a speedy recovery.
