A man tried to set himself on fire with gasoline inside Mecca’s Grand Mosque late on Monday.
The incident specifically happened beside the Kaaba, the black-clad
building towards which the world’s Muslims face to pray in the mosque.
He was however, arrested before he could lit the fire, police in Saudi Arabia said.
“His actions suggest that he is mentally ill,” the mosque’s
police service said in a statement, adding without elaborating that
police would take measures to address the incident.
Police said the man was in his 40s.
