2004 Khobar massacre
On 29 May 2004, a Saturday, four men armed with guns and bombs attacked two oil industry installations and a residential compound, in Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia—the hub of the Saudi oil industry.〔 Over approximately 25 hours, the gunmen, describing themselves as members of the "The Jerusalem Squadron" or "Jerusalem Brigade", killed 22 and injured 25, mainly third country national personnel working in Khobar.〔
Their targets were the Arab Petroleum Investments Corporation building〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=APICORP - Arab Petroleum Investments Corporation )〕 and the Al-Khobar Petroleum Centre,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Petroleum Center - Khobar City )〕 and a foreign workers' housing complex, the Oasis Compound,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=::::: Welcome to Saad Group ::::: )〕 in the Gulf city of Khobar.〔(Worldwide Incidents Tracking System Report 200458288 ) dead link〕 Their victims included 19 foreigners from nine countries—eight people from India, three from the Philippines, two from Sri Lanka, one each from Sweden, Italy, England, the United States, South Africa and Egypt. According to witnesses the attackers asked the hostages if they were Christian or Muslim, letting the Muslims go with a lecture, and slitting the throats of non-Muslims.〔 One victim was tied to the back of a vehicle and dragged through the street.
Saudi security forces have been criticized for not being better prepared after a similar attack on foreign workers in Yanbu' al Bahr a month earlier, and for allowing ease of movement and operation by the assailants including the escape of three of the four.〔
