The OIC Secretary General, Iyad Ameen Madani, said that those who carried out, planned or supported these attacks were simply carrying out desperate acts to undermine the security and stability of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the mainstay of the security and stability of the region and the Islamic world.

Madani stated that any person who takes out his or her life, kill and terrorize innocent people; and commit such crimes in the holy month of Ramadan and in Al-Madinah Al Munawwarah and close to the sacred mosque of the Prophet, negates being a Muslim and refutes every Islamic value. It defies the very essence of being human. Such terrorists have become void tools empty of conscious and rationale, used by the promoters of radicalism, violence and terrorism, he added.

The Secretary General expressed his condolences to the families of the victims, wished the wounded a speedy recovery, and expressed confidence in the ability of the competent Saudi authorities to pursue the perpetrators, bring them to justice and expose their affiliations.

He reiterated the OIC's full solidarity with the leadership, government and people of Saudi Arabia in all the steps and measures taken to combat terrorism through a comprehensive approach that addresses its political, economic, social and intellectual root causes.

Madani also praised the vigilant Saudi security agencies who foil and face up to these terrorist attacks. 

He also reiterated the OIC's principled and categorical position which denounces terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.
