Explosion in Saudi Arabia Two Greek Consulate General employees injured November 12, 6:05
In the Middle East and Saudi Arabia, a ceremony was held attended by Western government officials, and a sudden explosion occurred, causing minor injuries to two Greek Consulate General staff and some local authorities. We are investigating as if we were trying to harm foreign government officials.
According to Saudi Arabia's state news agency, a sudden explosion occurred in the center of Jeddah, the second city, when a ceremony was held on the 11th to commemorate the victims of World War I.
The ceremony was attended by people from Western embassies, and two people, including the staff of the Greek Consulate General, were slightly injured.
Local authorities are investigating that someone has attempted to harm foreign government officials.
The French embassy in Saudi Arabia, who attended the ceremony, said in collaboration with the embassies of four countries, including Greece, that "we strongly condemn the terrible attacks. Attacks on innocent people are shameful." I made a statement.
In Saudi Arabia, there is growing opposition to French President Emmanuel Macron's remarks over caricatures of Islamic prophets, and last month a guard at the French Consulate General in Jeddah slashed a Saudi man with a knife. I just had an incident.
