Terror Has No Religion, Tweet Celebs After Medina Blast

Mumbai: Celebrities, including Adnan Sami, Hansal Mehta and Ali Zafar on Tuesday, condemned the blasts which took place near mosques in the holy Saudi city of Medina and in Qatif.

A suicide bomber blew himself up beside the security headquarters in Prophet Mohammed's mosque in the Saudi city of Medina on Monday, local media reported. A second blast took place, also on Monday, near a mosque in the Shia city of Qatif in the eastern part of the country, Xinhua cited Al Arabiya local news as saying.
