Explosion near one of Islam’s holiest sites in Saudi Arabia
10 replies, posted
[quote]State-linked Saudi news websites reported an explosion Monday near one of Islam’s holiest sites in the city of Medina, as two suicide bombers struck in different cities without killing anyone.
Sabq news site reported the explosion, and other sites showed images of what appeared to be a fire outside one of the buildings overlooking the Prophet’s Mosque. It was not immediately clear if anyone was killed or wounded in the blast.
The sprawling mosque where the Prophet Muhammad is buried is visited by millions of Muslims from around the world each year during pilgrimages to Mecca. The area would have been packed with pilgrims for prayer during the final days of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which ends this week.[/quote]

At least the suicide men didn't hit Mecca, or else it would have been the worst day for the moslems.
Well,shit.

Wrong.
They killed themselves, they were a casualty of their own retardation.

You should probably read a book called "The Siege of Mecca"

i have that book in my kindle library. was a interesting read. very educational.
OT:
this right before eids about to start. why? they know alot of people are going to be there because of it, and also because of the ten nights.
also, some gov sources are saying it was a hotel gas leak accident, while other gov sources are saying it was a suicide bombing. very split. the state sponsored media however as of now (Arab News) says its a suicide bombing attack.
Must be pretty scary to be a muslim in the middle east right now. Attacks on Ramadan night shoppers and the conceivable threat of attacks on eid.

Two police officers were lightly injured in Dschidda when (iinm) a car bomb targeting the US-consulate exploded.
