Medina Bombing: Saudi Arabia Reels After Mosque Attack

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Medina Bombing: Saudi Arabia Reels After Mosque Attack

Saudi clerics denounce the deadly attack at the Prophet's Mosque

The hashtag #PrayForMedina is trending following the deadly suicide attack outside the Prophet's Mosque in Medina, Saudi Arabia - one of the two holiest sites in Islam. No group has yet said it was behind the attacks, but suspicion has fallen on so-called Islamic State.

Also in the programme: Calls to overhaul French intelligence services after Paris attacks and Nasa's Juno probe enters orbit around Jupiter.
