Saudi Arabia’s Embassy in Tanzania has clarified that a Saudi man found near the site of an explosion in the Arusha city last week was not a suspect, but only a witness, the SPA reported yesterday.

Meanwhile, Saudi Ambassador to Tanzania Hani Abdullah Momenah reiterated the Kingdom’s condemnation of any act of terror while conveying the Kingdom’s condolences to the government of Tanzania.

“The Kingdom denounces terrorism in all its forms and manifestations including attacks against places of worship,” Momenah said.

Two people died in the bombing of the newly opened church and nearly 48 people were injured in the blast just before the church’s inaugural mass, according to earlier media reports.
