Daily Mail UK, 29 May 2015


Four people have been killed in Saudi Arabia after an ISIS suicide bomber, reportedly dressed in a burka, blew up a car outside a mosque during Friday prayers.

The man is said to have tried to drive into the Shia Imam Hussein mosque in Dammam, but was stopped by security.
As security tried to get to him, the jihadist detonated his bomb in the in the car park in front of the women's entrance, blowing up his car and killing four in the blast.











The fighter, from the Sunni branch of Islam, launched his attack on the Shia Imam Hussein mosque as worshipers flocked to the site for Friday prayers (pictured, a wounded man is treated in the street)


ISIS has since claimed responsibility for the attack, with a message posted on one of the group's Facebook pages saying a 'soldier of the caliphate,' blew himself up among 'an evil gathering of those filth in front of one of their shrines in Dammam.'

The fighter was identified as Abu Jandal al-Jazrawi, with his surname indicating that he likely came from Saudi Arabia.
The latest bombing comes just a week after another device was detonated by ISIS fighters in the nearby village of al-Qudeeh, killing 21 mostly Shia Muslims.

IS fighters hail from the Sunni sect of Islam, and view Shias as devil-worshipers and blasphemers deserving of death.

The pair of suicide bombings threaten to spark sectarian conflict in Saudi Arabia, which is a predominantly Sunni nation, but has a large Shia population in the oil-rich east.

Video of the attack shows a thick pall of black smoke rising from cars burning in the parking lot outside, while pictures of the attack show men treating a badly wounded person on the ground.

Another video apparently taken from inside the mosque captures the horror of the crowd from inside the Imam Hussein mosque, the only Shia mosque in the region, as the bomb goes off.

The state-run Saudi Press Agency said security guards halted a car in the parking lot of the mosque and that the bomber detonated his payload as they approached.

'Thank God, security authorities managed to foil a terrorist crime targeting worshippers,' the agency said in a statement. It was unclear if the bomber was among the four dead.

According to witnesses the man was trying to drive through the women's entrance to the mosque while wearing a burka when suspicious security guards stopped him, moments before the explosion

There have also been anonymous reports that the bomber had been dressed in the traditional female burka in an attempt to get past security.
Witness Mohammed Idris said the suicide bomber attempted to enter the mosque but was chased by young men, who had set up checkpoints at the entrance.

'They chased the suicide bomber when he tried to enter the women's section of the mosque in the south entrance,' he said. He identified one of the dead as Abdul-Jalil Abrash, a 25-year-old graduate student from an American university.

Mohammed al-Saeedi, who arrived half an hour after the blast, said four cars were damaged by the explosion, and body parts from the bomber were scattered around the site.

'Pieces of the body were everywhere at the main gate and in the roof of the mosque,' he said.
He called on police to do a better job of sharing information with the local Shiite community to protect against future attacks.

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was carried out by its 'Najd Province,' referring to a region in the central Arabian Peninsula.

Last Friday, an Islamic State suicide bomber killed 21 people in the village of al-Qudeeh, in the oil-rich eastern Qatif region.

It was the deadliest militant assault in the kingdom since a 2004 al-Qaida attack on foreign workers as Saudi Arabia's king vowed to punish those responsible for the 'heinous terrorist attack.'





A video reportedly taken from inside the mosque shows the Imam had already begun prayers when the explosion suddenly went off outside (pictured, firemen extinguish the blazing cars)





Several vehicles were destroyed in the blast, which also left shrapnel marks in the walls of the mosque, and scattered human remains around the cap park, according to witnesses



Saudi Arabia's Shiite minority is a branch of Islam that both the Islamic State group and ultraconservatives in Saudi Arabia regularly denounce as heretical.
Shiites in Saudi Arabia have long complained of discrimination and say their communities have benefited little form the country's vast oil riches, which are also concentrated in the east.

In 2011, Shiites in the east inspired by the Arab Spring uprising in neighboring Bahrain took to the streets to demand greater rights.
Police arrested hundreds of people and a counterterrorism court sentenced an outspoken cleric, Nimr al-Nimr, to death.

Saudi Arabia views Shiite movements elsewhere in the Middle East as proxies of its main regional rival, Shiite-majority Iran.

Riyadh is currently leading a coalition in bombing raids against Shiite rebels in neighboring Yemen, known as Houthis, who seized the capital, Sanaa, last year.





The attack comes a week after 21 people were killed in al-Qudeeh in an ISIS suicide bombing carried out by a fighter going under the name of Abu Amer al-Najdi (pictured)
