The gates of the historic Al Haram Mosque in Mecca were attacked by cars. The Saudi state news agency SPA reported that on Friday night, a driver tried to enter the mosque with a speeding car. The Middle East Eye, a London-based Middle Eastern news agency, quoted local media as saying that no one died.
Video of the attack has spread on social media. As seen in a video, the car sped towards the courtyard of the mosque, pushing the plastic barricades forward and finally knocking on a door.
Another video showed people pushing the car away from the mosque compound. In addition, an image of the detainee handcuffed on the back has also been published on Facebook-Twitter.
The Saudi state news agency SPA claimed the driver was a Saudi national. You are mentally unbalanced. He will be sent to the government prosecutor for questioning.
Meanwhile, the Saudi state Quran broadcast news live from inside the mosque during and after the incident.
After a seven-month long shutdown due to the coronavirus epidemic, prayers at Masjid al-Haram resumed this month. The Umrah of foreigners will also start from Sunday.
