Suicide bomber of Saudi mosque identified + Pics

Security spokesman for the Saudi Interior Ministry has indentified the suicide bomber who targeted a mosque in Najran on Monday night as Saad Saeed al-Harthy.

al-Harthy is 35 years of age and hails from the city of Taif.

He had re-entered Saudi Arabia illegally from Syria, following nearly four years of absence after spending time with the ISIS extremist group.

His father notified authorities sometime in 2011 of his son’s disappearance from Saudi Arabia, who reportedly first left to Lebanon and then went to Syria.
