A Saudi Arabia’s fugitive detonated an explosive belt killing himself and injuring four other people in Jeddah on Wednesday night.
This was confirmed Friday in a report by the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
The fugitive blew himself up after security forces tracked him and attempted to arrest him in Jeddah’s neighborhood of al-Samer, a spokesperson for the Presidency of State Security said.
According to state security, those injured were a Pakistani resident and three security personnel. They were all transferred to hospital for medical treatment.
Al-Shehri has been wanted by authorities for seven years for his involvement in an attack that targeted a mosque in the southern city of Abha in August 2015.
The attack on the mosque, which was carried out by a suicide bomber, killed at least 12 security personnel.
