Four men and three women were shot dead, while another nine were injured. Police later intervened and opened fire on the gunman, killing him, reports Al Jazeera.
A group calling itself Islamic State-Bahrain State and allegedly affiliated with the Islamic State has claimed responsibility for an attack on a Shiite meeting hall in Saudi Arabia. In a statement posted online, the group said that Shughaa al-Dosari, one of it’s “soldiers”, “attacked a Shia infidel temple”, and warned that “infidels will not be safe in the island of Mohammed”, according to AFP.
The incident is the latest in a string of shootings and bombings linked to Sunni extremists, just two days after the start of Ashura, one of the holiest occasions for Shiites.
