Local Editor

A terrorist car exploded near Imam Hussein's mosque in Saudi Arabia's Dammam Friday, martyring one people, a witness said.

The witness, identified only as Ahmed, told Reuters he was with his family near the mosque when "a quick explosion" happened. He did not know the cause of the blast.

He said acquaintances at the mosque told him an attendant was killed along with the suicide bomber when he tried to prevent him from reaching it.

According to information, the terrorist carried out the bombing as the "Civilian Protection" group prevented him from entering the mosque.

Reports identified the martyr as Abduljalil Juma.

This would be the second time in less than a week a mosque has been targeted.
The attack comes days after a suicide bomber targeted the -mam Ali Mosque in al-Qadeeh, a village located in Saudi Arabia's eastern Qatif province, on 22 May.
