RIYADH: Investigators have identified the second suspect in Friday’s mosque attack in Al-Ahsa as an Egyptian national named Talha Hisham Mohammed Abdo.
In a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) on Monday, the Ministry of Interior said the terrorist came to Saudi Arabia on family visit visa. His father, Hesham Mohamed Abdou Abdel Halim, is an expat residing in the kingdom.
Talha, 27, is still in under tight watch in a hospital, where he is under treatment for severe injuries inflicted by angry worshippers, who overpowered him during the attack.
Police had said Talha was with Abdulrahman Abdullah Sulaiman Al-Tuwaijri, a 22-year-old Saudi who detonated a bomb strapped to his body when security men stopped the duo as they tried to enter the Al-Ridha Mosque in Al-Ahsa’s Mahasin district last Friday.
Al-Tuwaijri died on the spot, along with four other people. Some 18 others were reported injured in the explosion and from gunshots fired by Talha.
Authorities are said to be looking for a third suspect.
Scholars have condemned the “heinous” attack and as a “failed attempt to destabilize the country and ignite sedition.”
