IS attack on Saudi shia mosque kills 2

Two people were killed Monday in a suicide bombing at a mosque in the Saudi city of Najran that was claimed by the Islamic State group, which has repeatedly targeted Shiites in the Sunni-ruled kingdom.

The attack occurred just after Maghrib early evening prayers at the Al-Mashad mosque in the southern city's Dahza neighbourhood, said the Saudi interior ministry.

In August, the same group claimed another blast in Saudi Arabia's southern region. Fifteen people died in that suicide bombing at a mosque frequented by members of a police special weapons and tactics unit in Abha city.
