Al-Anoud Mosque, Dammam

Jeddah (IINA) – The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned the foiled terrorist bombing targeted Al-Anoud Mosque in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, during Friday prayers.
Three people were killed in addition to the suicide bomber and four others injured in the failed attempt.
OIC Secretary General Iyad Madani praised the vigilance of Saudi Arabia’s security officers who thwarted the terror plot, which had the potential to kill dozens of innocent worshippers at the mosque.
Madani said that the failed bombing further unveiled the ugly face of Daesh, which was responsible for the crime and which considers the shedding of innocent blood and the targeting of mosques on the blessed days of Friday as lawful. He added that heinous crimes such as this will not be successful in dismantling the unity of Saudi society, but will instead only increase it.
Madani offered his sincere condolence, expressed solidarity with the families of those killed in the attack and wished the injured speedy recovery. He also expressed confidence in the Saudi authorities that they would be able to quickly detect and expose those who planned and carried out these bombings.
The secretary general stressed the OIC support for Saudi Arabia in all the steps it undertakes in maintaining security and stability across the Kingdom.
