| Saudi wounds guard at French consulate at Jeddah in knife attack |
| 2020-10-30 |
| [Aljazeera] Saudi police say the attacker in Jeddah was a Saudi citizen, but it did not give the nationality of the guard, who they say sustained minor injuries. A Saudi citizen wounded a guard in a knife attack at the French consulate in Jeddah on Thursday. The assault came the same day as knifings at a church in the French city of Nice left three people dead and several others wounded, in what authorities are treating as the latest attack to rock France. “The assailant was apprehended by Saudi security forces immediately after the attack. The guard was taken to hospital and his life is not in danger,” the embassy said in a statement. Police in Mecca province, where Jeddah is situated, said the attacker was a Saudi, but it did not give the nationality of the guard, who they said had sustained minor injuries. “The French Embassy strongly condemns this attack against a diplomatic outpost, which nothing could justify,” it said in a statement, urging its nationals in Saudi Arabia to exercise “extreme vigilance”. Security around the Jeddah consulate later appeared to be tightened with Saudi police cars seen patrolling around the complex at regular intervals. In Riyadh, two police cars were stationed outside the embassy located in the city’s high-security Diplomatic Quarter, as Saudi policemen prevented passers-by from taking photographs. |
