What I don’t understand is why members of the crowd decided to tackle him? They must have had a reason other than him being Middle Eastern. There had to been other Arab looking people in that large crowd. I would bet a lot of money that he yelled Allah Akbur seconds before the blast.

Exactly. With all the chaos and concerns for personal safety, what instinctive reaction caused them to set all that aside to focus on the Saudi? We need to hear from the people who kept this guy from fleeing the scene. And there have to be pictures somewhere of the Saudi in the crowd before the explosion.
Short but very interesting story on the Saudi at the event.
