Man from Hyderabad killed in attack on Riyadh Airport
Hyderabad: A man from Hyderabad was killed, and his three family members were injured in an attack at Saudi Arabia’s King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Sunday.
Mohammed Yusuf Ali, who had suffered injuries, succumbed while undergoing treatment at a hospital in Riyadh. His two sons and an aunt were injured. Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday night confirmed that Yusuf Ali died in the attack. “It’s been confirmed that Yusuf sahab has passed away in the attack. Innalilahi wa inna ilahir rajioon.
His son is undergoing knee surgery, another son is in the hospital, and 3 of his toes have been cut off. His daughter and wife are safe. His aunt (chachi) was with them and suffered injuries to the head but is out of danger,” the MP said in a post on X.
Owaisi said he was in touch with Yusuf’s brother-in-law in Riyadh, and the Deputy Chief of Mission has assured him that they’re taking care.
The MP urged Minister for External Affairs, S. Jaishankar, to provide every possible assistance to the family. The Indian embassy in Riyadh confirmed the death of an Indian national. “It is learnt that one Indian national injured in the Riyadh attack has unfortunately lost his life today.
We convey our heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased. We are in touch with the family and will provide all support for ensuring the early repatriation of mortal remains,” reads a post by the Indian embassy.
