News arrived through twitter that an explosion occurred in Medina. Probably the Snackbars again.
“Marietta? I thought you said Medina.”
Two Saudi security force members were killed on Monday after a suicide bombing took place in Madinah near the prophet’s mosque, the Al-Haram Al-Nabawi, regarded as one of Islam's holiest sites.
The Al Arabiya article, didn’t read the CBS one yet.
Or Shias in revenge for the attack in Baghdad. Inscrutable folks these.

Saudi Arabia has now been hit by 3 bomb attacks in 24 hours, targeting a Shia mosque in Qatif, the U.S. consulate in Jeddah, and now Medina.

#SaudiArabia: Explosions near #Medina and #Qatif mosques
Why is there no active thread on this? Our consulate was attacked! Three cities in Saudi have been attacked by suicide bombers. Including their holy Medina. Why isn’t there a thread with continuing info? Weird.

It’s the Ramadan bombathon!
You’re right. Detonating a bomb right on the holy sight of Medina and right after prayers, a major line has been crossed.
And I hope America doesn't send the military to protect them.
The Western world has had enough of Saudi Arabia and their export of Islamic violence. Let them suffer.
Dear Moderators, can you put this in Front Page News?
Thanks.
Indeed a line has been crossed. If this is ISIS they may finally have sealed their own doom, so why do this?
Dear Diary,
Maybe instigating lone wolves all over the world to commit attacks was not such a good idea.
Next step: A sequel of the siege of the Grand Mosque in Mecca by Juhayman al-Otaybi:
Yaroslav Trofimov, a reporter with The Wall Street Journal, talks about the 1979 siege of the Grand Mosque at Mecca in Saudi Arabia. It is the holiest site in Islam, and gunmen held it for two weeks. It was one of the events that gave rise to al-Qaida, and Yaroslav wrote about it in his book The Siege of Mecca.

Al-Qaeda Militant threatens Saudi TV Host and says that the Prophets Grave in Saudi must be destroyed. He demands Jihadists give up their Jihad in Afghanistan, Yemen, and Iraq and instead focus their efforts against Saudi Arabia. The Saudi TV Host attempts to convince him to go commit acts of terrorism in other countries instead.

Other blasts occurred in the Red Sea city of Jeddah near the US consulate and in Shiite-dominated Qatif on the other side of the country.
The interior ministry said two security officers were wounded in the Jeddah bombing. Residents of Qatif said only the bomber died in that attack, blowing his body apart near a Shiite mosque

Well, ramadon is supposed to be a pretty important holiday in that “religion.” But they really kick up the violence during their holiest month. Why not bring all that goodness to their holy places too?
(There is nothing unique/special about the words "radical Islam"!!! It is just "Islam.")
