Abha, August 6 (RHC)-- At least 17 people have been killed and many others wounded after a bomb attack targeted a mosque in Saudi Arabia's southwestern region of Asir, Saudi media reports say.

The bombing took place in the mosque used by Saudi special forces in Asir's provincial capital city of Abha on Thursday, state TV channel al-Ekhbariya reported.

The broadcaster described the incident as a terrorist attack, adding that the explosion occurred when worshipers were praying at the mosque. However, AFP quoted an unnamed Interior Ministry spokesman as saying that the attack had claimed the lives of at least 13 people.
