Jeddah, (IINA) - The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned the terrorist attack on innocent worshippers at the Emergency Forces’ Mosque in Abha, Saudi Arabia killing and wounding more than a dozen people. 
In a statement issued on Thursday, OIC Secretary General Iyad Madani stated that this heinous crime is aimed at destabilizing the Kingdom and terrorizing innocent people, noting that the violation of the sanctity of life and targeting a house of worship are criminal acts that can only be done by people devoid of any religious, ethical or human values. 
In the same vein, OIC chief expressed his sincere condolences and solidarity with the families of the victims and prayed to Allah to grant the injured quick recovery.
Madani also expressed his confidence in the unity of the Saudi people and their support for their leadership in confronting terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. 
He noted that the Saudi authorities would quickly identify those who planned and executed this crime.
Madani reiterated the support and backing of the OIC for Saudi Arabia in all measures it takes to preserve the security and stability of the entire country.
