Saudi prince injured in suicide bombing

Amazing how headlines portray a story..

The headline is dramatic - INJURED.. Then the story says he was slightly injured .. No mention o others who may have died..

A wanted militant blew himself up in an apparent assassination attempt against Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, deputy interior minister in charge of security, in the Red Sea port of Jeddah.

The Saudi Press Agency said the man was being searched by security before going to offer Ramadan greetings to Prince Muhammad bin Nayef, when the bomb was detonated.

The attack was the first to directly target a member of the royal family since the start of a wave of violence by al Qa'eda sympathisers in 2003 against the U.S.-allied monarchy.
