Saudi Authorities Deny Reports of Suicide Bomber Arrest Near Kaaba

October 2, 2026 • 1 hour ago •

MAKKAH: Saudi authorities have refuted claims circulating on social media regarding the arrest of a suicide bomber at Masjid al-Haram. The statement, released on X on Friday, clarifies that the reports are unfounded.

According to security officials, a man was detained not for being a suicide bomber, but for allegedly harassing passersby and instilling fear among them. The authorities emphasized that there was no threat of a bombing incident, and the situation was under control.

This clarification comes at a time when security concerns are heightened in the region, especially during the pilgrimage season. The spread of misinformation can lead to unnecessary panic among citizens and pilgrims, highlighting the importance of accurate reporting and communication from official sources.

Authorities are expected to continue monitoring the situation and have urged the public to rely on verified information from credible sources. Further investigations into the incident involving the detained individual are likely to follow.
