Islamic organ slams malicious suicide bombings in Saudi Arabia

The Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) on Tuesday condemned, in the strongest terms, Monday's suicide terror bombings that struck Saudi cities of Jeddah, Qatif and Medina.

ISESCO, with its headquarters in Rabat, Morocco, said in a statement that these malicious attacks, targeting peaceful worshipers at these penultimate days of the wholly Muslim month of Ramadan, are mere departure from Islamic precepts.

The statement called the perpetrators "deviant persons and mischief-makers who have no connection whatsoever to Islam."

ISESCO affirmed its supportive stance with Saudi Arabia in all measures taken to combat and eliminate such criminal acts of terror. Endit
