CAIRO, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Islamic State claimed
responsibility on Thursday for an attack on a non-Muslim
cemetery in the Saudi Red Sea city of Jeddah which wounded
several people, without providing any evidence.
In a statement issued through its official channel on
Telegram, the group said that its "soldiers" had managed to hide
a homemade bomb in the cemetery on Wednesday which then exploded
after several "consuls of crusading countries" gathered there.
The explosion, which occurred during a World War One
remembrance ceremony, was the second security incident to take
place in Jeddah in the last couple of weeks, and the first
attack with explosives in years to attempt to hit foreigners in
the conservative kingdom.
