Somali Muslim leaders denounces Madina attack

Somali religious council on Monday protested to denounce terror attacks they said is used to tarnish the beauty of Islamic religion.

The council strongly condemned suicide attack on the Islamic holy city of Madina in Saudi Arabia.

It also condemned what it described as continuous terror attacks in other Islamic states like Turkey, Iraq, Yemen and Syria.

“Sacred sites are respected even by non-muslims. The sects who claim they are Muslim are killing us everywhere.”

“We call upon all Muslims to fight against those who attack Islam’s sacred places of worship.”

Saudi Arabian authorities said a suicide bomber who attacked the Prophet’s Mosque in the city of Madinah on Monday was a 26-year-old Saudi citizen with a history of drug abuse.

Four security officers were killed in the suicide attack near the resting place of the prophet Muhamad, six days ago.
