Islamic State group claims attack at Saudi non-Muslim cemetery
The Islamic State group claims responsibility for a bomb blast that struck a World War I commemoration at a non-Muslim cemetery in Saudi Arabia, which wounded two people.
A statement by the jihadist group on its Telegram channels says IS fighters “planted an explosive device in… the cemetery in the city of Jeddah yesterday,” where European diplomats were gathered.
It is rare for Islamic State to admit to attacks in Saudi Arabia.
