Saudi prince Mohammad bin Nayef
survives a terrorist attack
Top Story: In the first attack against a member of the Saudi royal family in decades, a suicide bomber attempted to kill Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, the deputy interior minister in charge of antiterrorism operations.
Nayef was meeting with members of the public for Ramadan when the attacker detonated his explosives during a security check. Aside from the attacker, no one was killed.
This is the first terrorist bombing in Saudi Arabia since 2006. The government's crackdown has largely pushed militant activity into neighboring Yemen. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the bombing.
"This will only increase my determination" to fight terrorism, Nayef said.
