RIYADH(UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 5th july, 2016) : A Pakistani resident is being suspected by the Saudi Arabia's interior ministry for carrying out Monday’s first bombing, near the US consulate in Jeddah.

The litigator was later identified as Abdullah Qalzar Khan, a 35-year-old private driver who had been living with his wife and her parents in Jeddah for 12 years, the interior ministry said.

The suicide bombings on Monday caused at-least four casualties, following attacks elsewhere in the region before the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

There was no allegement made by any group of militants for the three attacks one of which, at the Prophet’s (pbuh) Mosque in Medina, left four members of the security forces dead and others wounded.
