Dubai: Arab nations have expressed solidarity with Saudi Arabia on Saturday in the wake of the death of a suicide bomber in Jeddah. Abdullah Al-Shehri detonated a suicide vest when authorities attempted to arrest him in Jeddah, injuring a Pakistani resident and three security men. In a statement, the UAE condemned the blast, reiterating its stance against “all threats to the Kingdom’s security and stability.” The country’s ministry of foreign affairs commended the diligence of the Saudi security forces and measures taken to maintain public safety, conveying wishes for a speedy recovery of those injured in the blast. Jordan conveyed support to the Kingdom “in every step taken to protect its security.” Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Haitham Abu Alfoul praised efforts of Saudi security forces in addressing threats to the Kingdom’s stability and safety. In a statement published by the state news agency (BNA), Bahrain reaffirmed “unwavering solidarity” with Saudi Arabia and commended relentless efforts to maintain security. Bahrain also praised the vigilance of security forces in dealing with the wanted man who detonated an explosive belt during his arrest, injuring four. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned the bombing and praised the Kingdom’s firm action against any threat that undermines its safety and security. Meanwhile, Arab Parliament Speaker Adel Al-Asoumi stressed on his confidence in the Kingdom’s vigilance to protect its vital facilities, combat terrorism, and ensure the safety of its citizens and expats.
