JEDDAH: The Saudi Council of Senior Scholars on Monday strongly condemned the two church bombings claimed by Daesh, saying the attacks represented a “criminal act considered forbidden by Islamic consensus.”
“These bombings have violated several tenants of Islam; from treachery to sin and aggression,” the Council said in a statement. The statement added that eradicating terrorism and corruption requires cooperation, stressing that terrorism knows no country, nationality or religion.
“Muslims stand with the entire world in condemning this act. We need a sincere international cooperation to drain its (terrorism) sources and fight the groups behind it,” the Council added.
“The General Secretariat of Council of Senior Scholars declares that Islam is innocent of these acts, which are carried out by those with a deviant ideology.”
The Council said the security, stability, cohesion and strength of the Islamic and Arab worlds lie in the security, stability and cohesion of Egypt.

Saudi watchdog warns of possible health risk from Nestle baby formula
- Company voluntarily recalls its Nan, Alfamino, S-26 Gold and S-26 Ultima products over concerns they might be contaminated with cereulide, a toxin produced by bacteria
- Saudi Food and Drug Authority says recall is precautionary and no related illnesses have been reported, but advises consumers to dispose of recalled products immediately
RIYADH: The Saudi Food and Drug Authority on Tuesday warned the public not to consume certain Nestle infant formula products, after the company issued a voluntary recall over concerns about possible contamination.
The advisory covers products marketed under the Nan, Alfamino, S-26 Gold and S-26 Ultima brands. They might be contaminated with cereulide, a toxin produced by the Bacillus cereus bacteria, which can pose a risk to infant health, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The Saudi authority said the recall was a precautionary measure and no related illnesses have been reported. Possible symptoms of exposure can include nausea, repeated vomiting and abdominal pain.
It advised consumers to dispose of the recalled products immediately, and said it was coordinating with Nestle to ensure they are removed from stores and is monitoring the process.
Full details of the affected products, including batch numbers, are available at the Saudi Food and Drug Authority website. The organization said consumers can report any food safety concerns by calling 19999.
