The UAE on Friday strongly condemned a bomb attack on a Saudi police patrol which killed one officer and wounded six others in the eastern province of Qatif.
The patrol was targeted in the neighbourhood of Al Musara, killing Cpl Abdullah Al Turki and wounding six other police officers, the Saudi interior ministry said. The ministry blamed the attack on "terrorists", without giving any further details.
A statement from UAE's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation called for concerted efforts from the international community in "confronting the scourge" of terrorism.
The ministry reiterated its position against all forms and manifestations of terrorism that target all, regardless religion and race.
The UAE also sent its condolences to the Saudi government, the family of the fallen police officer and wished the injured a speedy recovery.
The attack occurred in the same area where a policeman was killed and three others wounded in a bombing on Tuesday morning. Three people, including a police officer, were also killed last month in bombings in Qatif.

Kanye West
Ye — the rapper formerly known as Kanye West — has seen his net worth fall to $400 million in recent weeks. That’s a precipitous drop from Bloomberg’s estimates of $6.8 billion at the end of 2021.
Ye’s wealth plunged after business partners, including Adidas, severed ties with him on the back of anti-Semitic remarks earlier this year.
West’s present net worth derives from cash, his music, real estate and a stake in former wife Kim Kardashian’s shapewear firm, Skims.
