Washington Post: Deadly suicide blast strikes Saudi security forces at mosque near Yemen
BEIRUT — A suicide bomber struck a mosque in Saudi Arabia used by security forces near the border with war-battered Yemen on Thursday, officials said, leaving more than a dozen dead in the latest blast to hit the kingdom.
There were no immediate assertions of responsibility, but the attack follows a spate of suicide bombings in Saudi Arabia claimed by Islamic State militants. It also comes as Saudi Arabia and its allies have escalated its four-month-old war against rebel forces in Yemen.
The official Saudi Press Agency said the blast killed at least 13 people at a mosque in the southern Asir region during prayers by security forces. The report said at least 10 security personnel and three workers were killed.
