State sponsored Pro-IS takfiri terrorists have attacked a gathering of Shia Muslims in Saudi Arabia and killed 8 mourners commemorating Ashura, the tenth day of Muharram that marks the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The deadly assault was carried out at a husseiniyah in the village of al-Dalwah in al-Ahsa district of Eastern Province, home to many of Saudi Arabia’s Shia Muslims, leaving more than 30 mourners wounded.<\/p>\n
According to reports, the majority of those injured in the attack were children.<\/p>\n
Saudi police arrested 15 people in six cities and killed two others in connection with what the Interior Ministry called a terrorist ambush.<\/p>\n
The identities of the assaulters and their affiliations were not disclosed. But the ambush raised speculation that Saudi-born Sunni takfiri extremists who have joined terrorist groups in Iraq and Syria had brought their violence home, an outcome that Saudi rulers have long feared.\u00a0<\/p>\n
