Saudi Arabia condemns bombing of security checkpoint in Pakistan

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia has condemned Friday’s bombing of a security checkpoint in northwest Pakistan, in which at least 16 people were killed, most of them security personnel. The foreign ministry reaffirmed the country’s “firm rejection of violence, terrorism and extremism in all their forms” and expressed solidarity with Pakistan. The killings happened when a suicide bomber, supported by armed militants, targeted a security point in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, which borders Afghanistan. The area has seen a sharp rise in militant violence in recent years.
