A Saudi security official said an attacker parked a car near the U.S. consulate in Jeddah before detonating the device. Witnesses described body parts, apparently of a suicide bomber, in the aftermath. A suicide bomber detonated a bomb at a parking lot outside the Prophet's Mosque in Medina, the second-holiest site in Islam, a Saudi security spokesman told state news agency SPA. The security spokesman said the body of a bomber and two other people have been identified, without providing any more details. Hours earlier a suicide bomber was killed and two people were wounded in a blast near the U.S. Consulate in the kingdom's second city, Jeddah.
