A suicide bomber blew himself up near the United States consulate in Jeddah yesterday. Two security officers were hurt. A local newspaper said security officers sealed off the area after “a person blew himself up in a car in front of the US consulate.” There was no immediate word on who was responsible. It happened just before the dawn prayers.
