Riyadh, Reuters—A suicide bomb and gun attack killed two Saudi border guards on the frontier with Iraq early on Monday, the interior ministry said, in what one security analyst called Islamic State of Iraq and Syria’s (ISIS) first assault on the Kingdom.
Saudi Arabia’s border with Iraq, defended by earth barriers and fences and monitored by camera and radar, has been attacked in the past by mortar bombs fired from a distance, but more targeted strikes are rare.
