Madinha, Jul 5: The security forces of Saudi Arabia have proved their competency, dedication and commitment by sacrificing their own lives to foil the plot of dreaded terrorists in the Islamic kingdom. In two separate incidents on Monday, the security forces prevented the suicide bombers from entering the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah and US consulate in Jeddah.

At least four Saudi security force members were killed and five wounded, when a suicide bomber, who was prevented from entering the Prophet's Mosque, Al-Haram Al-Nabawi, regarded as one of Islam's holiest sites, blew himself up.

“With Maghreb prayer drawing near on Monday in Madinah, security men suspected a man who was walking towards the Prophet's Mosque across an open area that is being used as a parking lot for visitors. When they tried to stop him, he blew himself up resulting in his death and the martyrdom of four security men. Meanwhile, five other security men were injured. May they recover quickly,”said Maj. Gen. Mansour Al-Turki, security spokesman of the Ministry of Interior.

Al Arabiya News Channel's correspondent said the suicide bombing took place near a security building parking lot between the city courtyard and the mosque, visited by millions every year.

The attack took place during Maghreb prayers, the time when Muslims break their fast during the holy month of Ramadan. The channel showed images of fire raging in a parking lot with at least one body seen nearby. The suicide bomber also died in the attack.

Before that at 2:15 a.m., a suicide bomber blew himself up near the US Consulate in Jeddah. Security officers endangered their lives and confronted him as he moved suspiciously at a parking lot of the Dr. Soliman Fakeih Hospital. It is learnt that the bomber's intention was to barge into the Consulate and kill maximum people. At least two policemen were wounded lightly in the attack.

Feb 25: Two Customs Preventive officers allegedly involved in gold smuggling cases in Kerala were removed from service, a top official said in Kochi on Monday.

Sumit Kumar, Commissioner of Customs (Preventive), Kochi, said that he took action against Radhakrishnan B, Superintendent of Customs, and Rahul, Inspector of Customs, who were allegedly involved in gold smuggling cases in the state.

Radhakrishnan was involved in attempted smuggling of gold weighing 24998.61 grams having a market value of over Rs 8 crore through Thiruvananthapuram international airport on May 13, 2019, Kumar said.

Rahul was involved in attempted smuggling of gold weighing 11,035.54 grams valued at over Rs 4 crore through international airport on August 19, 2019, the Customs Commissioner added.

Radhakrishnan is currently lodged in Central prison, Thiruvananthapuram after the Central Economic Intelligence Bureau under the Union Finance Ministry issued detention order under COFEPOSA (Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974).

Rahul, against whom detention order under COFEPOSA was issued, is absconding.

"Two Customs officers of the Customs Preventive Commissionerate, Kochi, who were involved in gold smuggling cases were removed from service by Sumit Kumar, Commissioner of Customs (Preventive), Cochin," an official release said.

Kumar said that both the cases were booked and investigated by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence and while show cause notice under Customs Act 1962 has been issued against Radhakrishnan, investigation is under progress in the other case.

"Both the officers were removed from service, after due process of law under Rule 19 of the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965," the release said.

Bengaluru, Apr 4: Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday asked Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar to be the government's spokesperson on the Novel Coronavirus crisis management effort, a move that is being seen as keeping too many cooks from spoiling the broth.

At a high-level meeting to review measures on COVID-19 containment, Mr Yediyurappa is said to have taken exception to his Cabinet colleagues making multiple, and often contradictory statements, leading to confusion.

''The CM has directed Mr Kumar to be the only one to brief the media on COVID-19,'' a source from the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) confirmed.
