JEDDAH: An attack on a mosque in Al-Ahsa on Friday

JEDDAH: An attack on a mosque in Al-Ahsa on Friday has left three dead and several injured and an attacker in police custody, according to reports from local media.

Al-Ahsa is in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, which last year saw two major mosque attacks.

Last May, a suicide bomber blew himself up during Friday prayer at a mosque in the village of Al-Qadeeh in eastern Saudi Arabia, killing21 and wounding 100 others. Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Asheikh condemned the attack as an attempt to divide the nation.Days later, Khaled Al-Wahbi Al-Shemari, who was dressed as a woman, detonated the explosive belt he was wearing when challenged by security volunteers at the entrance of Al-Anoud Mosque in Dammam.

The blast caused panic and chaos as worshippers rushed to get out of the building and several cars were set alight in the parking lot by the force of the explosion. Daesh claimed responsibility for both attacks.

The Interior Ministry said soon after they had detained 45 suspects in connection with the mosque attacks.
