4 Dead in Three Attacks Across Saudi Arabia, Including at Holy Mosque
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, on Monday, militants carried out three separate suicide bomb
attacks across Saudi Arabia, including an attack in the holy city of
Medina that killed four security officers near the mosque where the
Prophet Muhammad is believed to be buried. The mosque is one of the
holiest sites for Muslims worldwide. Another separate attack near the
U.S. Consulate in the Saudi city of Jeddah wounded two security
officers. No one has yet claimed responsibility for Monday's attacks.
The string of deadly attacks comes only days after militants attacked
the main airport in Istanbul, Turkey, on Tuesday, killing 42 people. The
airport is the 11th busiest in the world.
