Just received a telephone call from a Canadian ex-patriot couple stating that three residential compounds in eastern Riyadh were bombed at approximately midnight Riyadh time (GMT+3). According to eye-witnesses there were loud explosions heard over Riyadh; smoke visible from a wide area. The witness identified the three residential compounds as: Al Hamrah, Jaedhwal and Benal-Arabia compounds. Note: Jaedhwal contains military-related ex-patriots.
