Saudi Arabia said on Sunday it had arrested 46 members of a militant cell responsible for a deadly suicide bombing attack on the Prophet's Mosque in the holy city of Madinah last summer that was blamed on the terror group Daesh.
The suspects included 32 Saudis and 14 expatriates from Pakistan, Yemen, Afghanistan, Egypt, Jordan and Sudan, interior ministry spokesperson Major General Mansour Al Turki said.
The suspects were cornered in two hideouts in Jeddah, one in Harazat district and another in Naseem, Arab News reported.
Investigators found that the terror cell was behind the suicide bombing on a police station outside the Prophet's Mosque and an explosion at the parking lot of Dr Sulaiman Fakeeh Hospital in Jeddah on July 4, 2016, the paper said.
In the Madinah attack, four policemen were killed and five others were seriously wounded. In the Jeddah incident, the suicide bomber managed to kill only himself when he detonated his suicide vest after being confronted by a security guard. Investigators have suspected that the bomber's real target may have been the US Consulate, adjacent to the hospital.
There was no claim of responsibility for the attack nor did the interior ministry statement blame a specific group. Daesh has carried out a series of bombings and shootings in Saudi Arabia since mid-2014 killing scores of people.
