Storyline:National News

Somali government condemned cowardly terrorist bombing in one of holiest Muslim towns, Madina earlier this month.

“We condemn the heinous attack that targeted civilians and the country’s normalization process,” said Somali government in a statement.

It also conveyed condolences to families of the victims.

The Muslim world has united to condemn a deadly attack at one of Islam’s holiest sites – the Prophet’s Mosque in the Saudi city of Medina.

Setting aside differences, world leaders, politicians, groups and activists expressed their outrage.

Muslim leaders across the World have condemned a terrorist attack on Islam’s holiest site during the final few days of Ramadan which left four people dead.

Four people have been killed and five injured after a suicide bombing at the mosque where Prophet Muhammad is buried – one of Islam’s holiest sites.

Thousands of worshippers gathered to pray inside the Prophet’s Mosque just hours after the blast

Evening prayers were coming to an end at the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina, Saudi Arabia when the bomber struck.

Several cars caught fire and local media showed images of flames outside one of the buildings overlooking the Prophet’s Mosque.

The area was packed for prayer during the final days of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Millions of Muslims visit the sprawling mosque each year during pilgrimages to Mecca.

Saudi Arabia identified on Thursday suspects in two of the three attacks that struck outside the sprawling mosque where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is buried in the western city of Madina.

In a statement released by the Interior Ministry late Thursday, authorities said the Madina bomber in Monday’s apparently coordinated attacks was 26-year-old Saudi national Na’ir al-Nujiaidi al-Balawi.

The ministry said investigations following the attacks led to the arrests of 19 suspects, seven Saudi and 12 Pakistani nationals. No other details were immediately available.
