Two explosions shook the city of Qatif in eastern Saudi Arabia. Witnesses said body parts could be seen in the area of the blast.
A witness said one explosion destroyed a car parked near a mosque, followed by another explosion just before 7 p.m. local time. Body parts could be seen and they are believed to be that of an attacker, the witness added.
Residents told AFP that a suicide bomber blew himself up outside a Shiite mosque in eastern Saudi Arabia on Monday.
"Suicide bomber for sure. I can see the body" which was blasted to pieces, said a witness to the attack in the Shiite-populated city of Qatif.
Earlier, a foreign suicide bomber blew himself up near the American consulate in Saudi Arabia's western city of Jeddah in the early hours of US Independence Day on Monday.
