KSA’s MOI claimed, suicide attacker was Pakistani
A suicide bomber who blew himself up early Monday near the American consulate in Saudi Arabia´s Red Sea city of Jeddah was a Pakistani citizen, claimed Saudi interior ministry on Tuesday.
According to Saudi officials, the bomber was identified as Abdullah Gulzar Khan, a resident of Jeddah, who was staying in the kingdom for 12 years and worked as a driver.
No further details were given by the Saudi officials. Manzoorul Haq, Pakistan’s Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, declined to comment on the report. Speaking to Geo News, he said “I cant comment since it is merely news report…it is preliminary report and we will have to wait before making any comments”.
He said Pakistan always stood by Saudi Arabia and will also do so in the future. The attack near US Consulate followed two more bombings in Medina and Qatif cities killing four security officials at the security headquarters of Masjid Al-Nabawi.
A Saudi official said an attacker parked a car near the US consulate in Jeddah before detonating the device. Saudi-owned al-Arabiya television said an initial death toll from the Medina blast included three suicide bombers and two security forces officers.
