In Qatif in eastern Saudi Arabia, a suicide bomber attempted to launch an attack at a Shiite mosque but failed, killing himself in the process.
The deadliest occurred in Medina, where four people were killed and another person was wounded. Medina is the second holiest site for Muslims as it houses the Prophet Muhammad's mosque.
