No Malaysians were involved in the suicide blast at the Nabawi Mosque in Madinah.
No Malaysians were involved in the suicide blast at the Nabawi Mosque in Madinah, Wisma Putra said today.
In the statement released today, the ministry said Wisma Putra and the Consulate General of Malaysia in Jeddah will continue to monitor the development of the incident.
At least four people died in suicide bombings in Saudi Arabia on Monday following attacks elsewhere in the region, media reported.
There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the three attacks one of which, at the Prophet's Mosque in Medina, left four members of the security forces dead and others wounded.
The Prophet's Mosque, in the west of the kingdom, is one of Islam's holiest sites -- where Mohammed is buried and which attracts millions of visitors each year.
