He expressed confidence in the ability of the relevant Saudi authorities to pursue the perpetrators and bring them to justice.

The OIC chief offered sincere condolences to the families of the victims and wished a speedy recovery for the injured.

The OIC reiterates its condemnation of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, he said.
