Four Bangladesh nationals are among the victims killed in Thursday's suicide bomb attack on a Saudi mosque, said a diplomatic source in the city Saturday, reports UNB.

The Foreign Ministry is likely to provide the identity details of the victims Sunday.

One of the deceased was identified as Jibon, son of late Belal, a resident of Asadnagar village in Brahamanpara upazila of Comilla district.

According to the source, four Bangladesh nationals were also injured in the savage attack.

Earlier, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina condemned the suicide bomb attack and expressed her solidarity with the Kingdom to fight against terrorism in any form.

A suicide bomber killed at least 17 people and injured many more in the attack on a mosque used by members of a local security force in southwest Saudi Arabia on Thursday.
