Middle East
A string of suicide bombings struck three cities in Saudi Arabia on Monday in what looked like a rare coordinated series of attacks that marked the fourth set of terrorist offensives in less than a week that appear tohave been carried out by ISIS militants. Compared to the other attacks of the past week, these ones did not appear to have caused many casualties but were high in symbolic value. The deadliest attack took place near the Prophet’s Mosque in the city of Medina, which is considered the second-holiest city in Islam after Mecca. The bomber apparently detonated his explosives in the parking lot of the sprawling mosque after security officers raised suspicions about him. Four security officers were killed and five others were injured in the explosion.
