An attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh killed 12 people and wounded more than 300, Saudi authorities said. Some of the injured were in critical condition.
Authorities said those killed Saturday included four Saudi citizens, two Bangladeshi nationals and one citizen each from the United States, Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Sudan, along with a Palestinian.
The airport has faced several attacks over the past week. The latest is expected to intensify Saudi pressure on allies, including the United States, to provide military support to the kingdom.
