Islamic State claims responsibility for Jeddah attack
We had the story of the attack here on Wednesday. [Jpost] Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... grabbed credit on Thursday for an attack on a non-Moslem cemetery in the Saudi Red Sea city of Jeddah which maimed 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 went kaboom!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.
