Shots fired at Saudi embassy in The Hague
THE Saudi Arabian embassy in the Netherlands was sprayed with gunfire early yesterday, leaving bullet holes across the facade and in several windows.
Police said nobody was injured in the shooting.
Spokesman Steven van Santen said police were alerted around 6am to shots being fired at the building in The Hague on a stately avenue opposite a canal in the Dutch city.
Officers found several bullet casings outside the building and launched an investigation including an appeal for witnesses.
The Dutch foreign ministry said in a statement that it was taking the shooting “extremely seriously” and was in close contact with Saudi authorities.
