RIYADH — Two suspects blew themselves up Saturday during a firefight with security forces in the Red Sea city of Jeddah and a third was arrested in another operation, the interior ministry said. Sabq, a news website affiliated with the kingdom's interior ministry, reported on Saturday that security officers surrounded a house in Jeddah and exchanged fire with two men, who then detonated explosives that images showed completely destroyed the home. There was no immediate comment from the Saudi interior ministry. Islamic State has carried out a series of bombings and shootings in Saudi Arabia since mid-2014 that have killed scores of people, mostly members of the Shi'ite Muslim minority and security services.
