The Hague
Unidentified assailants sprayed the embassy of Saudi Arabia in the Netherlands with gunfire before dawn on Thursday, police said. No one was injured in the incident.
Dutch police said there had been no arrests after the building was hit just before 6am (0500GMT). Images on Dutch television showed casings scattered on the street and bullet holes in the windows.
A police spokesman said the motive was under investigation and it was unclear who might have been responsible.
In a statement, the embassy condemned the “cowardly attack” and urged Saudi citizens in the Netherlands to be on high alert and to exercise caution. The embassy praised Dutch authorities for their prompt response, saying it looks forward to investigating the circumstances, knowing the results and bringing those behind the incident to justice.—Reuters
