Suicide attackers launch 3 strikes in Saudi Arabia
A wave of suicide bombings hit three Saudi Arabian cities over a 24-hour period. The attacks came on the heels of massive jihadi assaults in the Muslim world last week.
The deadliest occurred in Medina, where four people were killed and another person was wounded, according to an official with knowledge of the event. The city is a major spot in Islam because that's where Prophet Mohammed is buried.
The bomber, who died in the explosion, targeted security officers, but it is unknown precisely who was killed, the source said.
In Qatif in eastern Saudi Arabia, a suicide bomber attempted to launch an attack at a Shiite mosque but failed, killing himself in the process, according to an official with knowledge of the event. There were no injuries.
Near the U.S. Consulate in Jeddah, a suicide bomber killed only himself after detonating an explosive according to the state-run Saudi Press Agency. Policemen were injured in the attack.
There were no initial claims of responsibility.
Attackers launched strikes last week in Turkey, Bangladesh, Yemen and Iraq, killing scores of people. They are claimed or thought to be carried out by ISIS.
The strikes come as the Muslim holy month of Ramadan ends and Americans celebrate the Fourth of July, their independence day
