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 Madinah.
World leaders, politicians, groups and activists expressed their outrage on Tuesday, a day after terrorist bombings in Saudi Arabia, one of which targeted security forces near Al Haram Al Nabawi, which resulted in four security men being killed and others injured, in addition to the other two blasts near Al Qatif.
At least four people died after suicide attacks rocked three Saudi Arabian cities.https://t.co/gvXRIGBKYCA spokesman for Saudi Arabia's interior ministry described the triple bombings as "despicable acts that did not respect the sanctity of place, time and innocent people".

"We stand in solidarity with our brothers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in their fight against the crimes of terrorism whose goals are to spread fear, takfir (branding others as infidels) and incite strife".Shaikh Abdullah stressed that Islam has nothing to do with this deviant and extremist ideology that has nothing to do with this religion nor with our traditions and history.
"Based on this fact, we believe that these crimes target the United Arab Emirates, its cities and people. We are fully confident that the Saudi leadership will be able to eliminate the threat posed by terrorism and all its forms and manifestations, and that this deviant group of people will not succeed in achieving its goals, thanks to national solidarity and cohesion which recognises the futility of their goals, blood-thirsty crimes as well as the deviance of their claims."
Muslim Council of Elders condemns attacks in Saudi Arabia
The Muslim Council of Elders has condemned in the strongest terms the despicable terrorist attacks which hit the Saudi cities, leaving a number of security officers dead and wounded.
In a statement, the council, headed by Grand Imam of Al Azhar, Shaikh Ahmed El Tayeb, stressed that
"The perpetrators of these villainous attacks which shed the blood of innocent people and violated the sanctity of places where Allah is worshipped, have neither ethics nor conscience and are not deterred by religion from killing innocent people and bomb the most sacred places on Earth."
It added: "Allah Almighty threatens to afflict those, who seek to wreak havoc on the Prophet's Mosque and other mosques, with disgrace in this life and the worst torment in the afterlife." The Council extended condolences to the King, government and people of Saudi Arabia and the families of the victims of the attacks.
