Saudi Arabia City of Qatif Rocked by Explosions Near Mosque

This seems to be another Sunni attack on Shi’a. It may be ISIS, although I’m sure it matters little to te victims. NBC:

Two explosions shook the city of Qatif in eastern Saudi Arabia, where many of the kingdom’s Shi’ite Muslim minority live, and witnesses said body parts could be seen in the area of the blast.

A witness said one explosion destroyed a car parked near a mosque, followed by another explosion just before 7 p.m. local time. Body parts could be seen and they are believed to be that of an attacker, the witness added.

Qatif is a city on the Persian Gulf near the island nation of Bahrain. It is one of the oldest settlements on the Arabian peninsula, dating to 3500 B.C.

Another one in Medina.
