Dubai, UAE -- While Americans were celebrating the Fourth of July with fireworks, a suicide holiday bomber used his own fireworks to blow himself up near the U.S. diplomatic site in Jiddah, a western Saudi city, the Interior Ministry reported.
The ministry said the Muslim jihadist pulled the detonator on his suicide vest when he was approached by security guards in the parking lot of a hospital. The Islamic bomber died from religious causes and two security guards were injured with minor cuts and bruises.
Interior Ministry spokesman Maj. General Mansour al-Turki stated that the attacker caught the attention of the security guards as they noticed him acting suspiciously at an intersection by the Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital by the corner of the gunned-to-the-teeth U.S. Consulate in Jiddah.
Most of the consulate staff have moved to a new location.
The U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia confirmed there were no injuries or casualties among the consular staff and the embassy is staying in contact with Saudi authorities as they investigate which sura in the Quran could have led the suicide bomber to go all to pieces.
Nobody claimed responsibility but the bomber gave a 'shout-out' to Allah when he let it rip. The ministry didn't say whether there was evidence the bomber was planning to target the U.S. diplomatic compound, but the smart money is on that possibility.
You can also bet that President Barack Hussein Obama is going to have a few harsh words of condemnation of the attack and that should make a Saudi feel safe when cuddling up to his four wives.
"We condemn these acts of violence in the strongest possible terms," the administration might say, adding "and our thoughts and prayers go out to all the families of the victims and to those who survived."
Saudi Arabia has recently been targeted by the Islamic State and dozens of 'not-Muslim-enough' Muslims have been killed. ISIS views the Western alliance of the Saudi monarchy and government as heretics. ISIS views everyone who is not a member of ISIS as heretics, including their own mothers.
Due to the anemic theocratic ideology of Islam, nobody is allowed to question it. If you dare to question why so much of the Koran sounds like a cartoon version of "A Boy and His Camel," you will be killed. If you say something bad about Muhammad, such as that he was a pedophile, slave-owner, anti-Semitic thief and murderer, you will be killed.
If you dare to claim that Islam is not a religion of peace, you will be killed.
Last month, the Interior Ministry reported 26 terror attacks had transpired in Saudi Arabia over the last 2 years. Shi'ites, a different sect from the Sunnis, were targeted because they fall into the category of "Not Religious Enough and Heretical."
Monday's attack comes just a few days before Eid al-Fitr, the end of the holy month (LOL) of Ramadan. That is the month whereby religious Muslims fast daily from dawn to sundown and easily get pissed off from hunger pangs.
The U.S. Embassy often issues advisory messages for U.S. citizens in Saudi Arabia. On Sunday they issued one after the attack, figuratively closing the barn door before the camels escaped. The message urged Americans foolish enough to be in Arabia to "remain aware of their surroundings, and take extra precautions when traveling throughout the country." They also advised citizens to "carefully consider the risks of traveling to Saudi Arabia."
Gee, you think?
Department of Justice Attorney General Loretta Lynch said that it was unfortunate the suicide bomber never got to know how much she loved him.
