Attack in Jedda Saudi Arabia at non-Muslim cemetery injures at least three during ceremony commemorating end of World War I, where representatives from numerous countries were present and injured. No group has yet claimed responsibility. (aljazeera.com/news/2020/11/1…) While not clear who was behind the attack, it does come amid incitements against Saudi Arabia from #ISIS spox specifically calling on Saudis to attack Western nationals in the country, which catalyzed a large-scale media campaign from IS-linked groups w/ posters, vids & quotes
Its also worth noting that #AQAP, which has a history of attacking #SaudiArabia, recently criticized the country in an Aug. speech from top official Qosi. The speech incited for violence, but specifically the assassination of Saudi Crown Prince, not random foreign nationals.
BREAKING: #ISIS has claimed the blast in #Jeddah #SaudiArabia. Considering what I outlined above, with incitements to specifically attack Western nationals, this is not surprising. Of note, the claim comes a day late. (ent.siteintelgroup.com/Statements/is-…) On its end, #ISIS 'Amaq specified the primary target of #Jeddah was #French diplomat, which follows wks of surging incitements against French targets in a major ISIS media campaign amid the republication of controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammed
#ISIS-linked groups are reiterating the spokesman's call to attack #SaudiArabia following the group's claim of yesterday's #Jeddah attack. A poster is showing scenes of the attack's aftermath, and displays text from the spox Oct. 18 speech. (ent.siteintelgroup.com/Chatter/in-pro…)
