ISIS has claimed responsibility for a remembrance service bomb attack at a non-Muslin cemetery in Saudi Arabia that left four people wounded on Wednesday, saying it was revenge for Charlie Hebdo cartoons. Initial reports said an explosive was hurled over the wall of the Christian cemetery during a French World War I remembrance service, injuring four people, including one Briton, a Greek policeman and a Saudi guard. Regional heavyweight Saudi Arabia - home to Islam's holiest sites - has criticised the cartoons, saying it rejected "any attempt to link Islam and terrorism". 'I have full confidence the Saudi Authorities will investigate this attack and prosecute those responsible for this cowardly act.' 'I think that the reactions came as a result of lies and distortions of my words because people understood that I supported these cartoons,' Macron said.
