Saudi Interior ministry revealed the identity of the terrorist suicide bomber that targeted the special emergency forces mosque in Abha, and said that his name is “Yusuf Bin Salman Bin Abdullah al Salman.”

The bomber is 21 years old, noting that the bombing claimed 15 lives, a statement by the ministry said.
