People in Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia have held a funeral to mourn a victim of the May 22 terrorist attack who succumbed to injuries he sustained in the bombing.

Mourners came out in Tarout Island in the kingdom’s Qatif region on Saturday to mourn the 22nd fatality of the bomb attack.

The Takfiri ISIL terrorist group claimed responsibility for the bombing at Imam Ali mosque of Qudaih village. The bomber reportedly blew himself up in the mosque as more than 150 people had gathered for Friday prayers.

Following the bombing, a large number of people took to the streets in Qatif to denounce the terrorist attack. The protesters also chanted slogans to show their anger at Saudi officials over the deadly blast.

A similar attack on May 29 killed three people in the town of Dammam, the capital of Eastern Province. The bomb went off outside a Shia mosque during Friday prayers.

Saudi Arabia has long been accused of supporting terrorist organizations such as the Takfiri ISIL group in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere as claimed by the governments in Damascus and Baghdad.

Riyadh is under fire for its unwillingness to protect the rights of minorities in the kingdom.
