-

The Hague: Dutch police yesterday said they had arrested a suspect after the embassy of Saudi Arabia in the Netherland­s was sprayed with gunfire before dawn earlier in the day. Noone was injured.

Dutch police said multiple shots were fired at the embassy building in The Hague just before 6am local time, leaving bullet holes in various windows.

Police said the suspect was a 40yearold man from the neighbouri­ng town of Zoetermeer, but provided no details of his exact role or possible motive.

The incident occurred a day after an explosion at a World War 1 remembranc­e ceremony involving foreign embassies in the Saudi city of Jeddah, which wounded several people. — Reuters
