The Council of Senior Scholars has vehemently condemned Monday’s bombings and sent out a clear message to terrorists: “You failed and lost.”, reported Arab News.
Challenging the troublemakers, the council tweeted: “Wherever you try, you will find us united under one flag. Praise be to God Almighty who saved His worshippers.”
Denouncing the brutal act of terror, the council tweeted a Hadith (sayings of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him) condemning perpetrators of such acts: “Whoever kills himself or others by any means will be punished on the Day of Judgement.”
Reacting to bombings in Jeddah, Qatif and Madinah, Khalid Al-Falih, minister of energy, industry and mineral resources, said these terrorist acts “would only solidify our resolve to defeat attempts to undermine our national unity.”
Ahmad Abu Elghait, Arab League secretary-general, said the bombings, which targeted Saudi security, are another proof that terrorism has no religion, stressing that those behind the attacks had no respect for the holy month or the holy place.
Salman Al-Ansari, founder and president of the Saudi American Public Relation Affairs Committee, told Arab News that the “abhorrent” attack in Madinah shows the true face of terrorism.
“What else, when the holy city is not free from a terror attack?”
The timing of the attacks on the occasion of Eid Al-Fitr, also raises suspicion of involvement of a foreign hand, he said.
“The destabilizing behavior of Iran to disturb peace in the region and its threats strengthen doubts about its plot to fan sectarianism in the Kingdom,” he said.
He also alluded to Iranian generals threatening the Kingdom with consequences. “Their cells are operating now using handlers from Daesh,” he said.
