Islamic State suicide bomber in women's garb kills three in Saudi Arabia

An Islamist militant suicide bomber disguised as a woman blew himself up outside a Shi'ite mosque in eastern Saudi Arabia on Friday, killing himself and three other people, the second attack of its kind in the world's top oil exporter in one week.

The bombing, which was claimed by Islamic State, could further escalate sectarian strife in the kingdom, where anti-Shi'ite sentiment has been stoked by a military campaign against Iranian-allied Houthi militias in neighboring Yemen since March.

The Interior Ministry said a suicide bomber disguised in women's clothes blew himself up outside the al-Anoud mosque's entrance in the city of Dammam during noon prayers.

Witnesses said a suicide bomber, who wore an Abaya used by women in Saudi Arabia, blew himself up in the mosque's parking lot when guards searching worshippers became suspicious of him.

The ministry said four people, including the bomber, were killed in the blast, which also set several cars ablaze.

Another Saudi Mosque bombing, the second in two weeks.

Perp tried going into the women's section of the mosque, but the volunteer security was suspicious of a woman driving "herself" to the mosque.

Twitter VINE video of from inside the mosque of the moment the bomb went off outside: https://twitter.com/mohadboland/status/604225188071256064/video/1

He’ll be getting 72 male virgins instead of 72 female virgins like he thinks he’s getting.

“where anti-Shi’ite sentiment has been stoked “

Stoked my fat behind. There has always been problems between the two.

It seems that the fighting tactics for these people always reflects their timid and gutless nature.
Examples?
Hide their soldiers in hospitals
Put citizens at military sites
Behead children
Subjugate women
Lie

So much more.

This is bad, bad, bad! If the bomber self-identified as a woman, the new American political correctness media rules require you to refer to “her,” not “him.”

I am going to report Reuters for its insensitive conduct.

The eastern province is mostly Shi’ite and a trouble spot for yrs for the royal family.

Ive not been to Saudi since about 1996 or so but Ive spent some time in the eastern province. Some of the shi’ite areas are officially off limits to westerners. They get uppity and the guv has to send in aircraft to settle them down a bit. Ive seen the bullet holes on the buildings. Qatif, Hufuf and other smaller towns. Spooky place IMO. From my understanding the shi’ites hate the ruling family. F em all
