“This terrorist attack happened only a week after the meeting between the US President (Donald Trump—ed) and the (Saudi) backward leaders who support terrorists.

The attacks were the first claimed by ISIS, the hardline Sunni Muslim militant group, and released a video purporting to show gunmen inside the parliament building and one body, apparently dead, on the floor.
