At Least 3 killed in Suicide Bombing at Saudi Mosque

VIDEO, At Least 2 killed in Suicide Bombing at Saudi Mosque

A suicide bomber has blown himself up at a mosque in Najran, Saudi Arabia. At least three people were killed and several others were wounded Monday after a suicide bombing hit the inside of a mosque in the Saudi city of Najran.

A conflicting report on social media says three people were killed in the attack on al-Mashhad mosque.

Footage posted on social media shows ambulances rushing to the scene.

Another video shows police and rescue services at the spot of the bombing.

Victims have reportedly been taken to King Khalid Hospital.

The attack occurred during evening prayers. Authorities are investigating the bombing, according to Saudi news website Sabq.org and Russian RT.

This is not the first time mosques have been targeted by bombers in the kingdom.

In mid-October, five people were killed after a gunman opened fire on a Shiite Muslim meeting hall in the Eastern city of Saihat.
