The Interior Ministry said five others were wounded in the attack outside the sprawling mosque grounds where the Prophet Muhammad is buried in Medina. Millions of Muslims from around the world visit the mosque every year as part of their pilgrimage to Mecca.

...

No group has yet claimed responsibility for any of the attacks.

It sounds like this crop of suicide bombers weren’t the top of their class. None of them managed to inflict mass causalities.

Sorry but suicide bombers ,9/11 terrorists, barbaric jihadists and murderous lone wolves all have had their conscience molded and have been motivated by the perversion of Islam. That perversion has been propagated by the Saudi protected and supported Wahhabi and other fundamentalist Muslim preachers who are directly and indirectly supported by the Saudis. The Saudis funded ISIS dreaming of a militant jihadist Sunni state composed of large parts of Syria and Iraq to confront Shi’ite Iran. Now the Saudis have lost control and are receiving their comeuppance. It won’t be long before Saudi Arabia resembles Libya. Its not for nothing that the decadent Saudi royals have most of their wealth invested in the West and well planned escape routes.
