沙特当局周五否认了有关麦加禁寺发生自杀式袭击者的报道，称一名男子因骚扰路人并制造恐慌而被捕。
Saudi authorities on Friday denied reports of a suicide bomber at the Grand Mosque in Mecca, saying a man was arrested for harassing passersby and causing panic.
当局在一份声明中表示：“圣城安全部门逮捕了一名骚扰路人并在其中散布恐惧和恐慌的人员，并已立即对其进行处理。”声明称：“安全部门确认，关于该事件的流传说法均不属实。”该声明未提供有关嫌疑人的更多细节。
“Security authorities in the holy capital arrested a person for harassing passersby and spreading fear and panic among them, and he was dealt with immediately,” authorities said in a statement on the US social media platform“The security authorities confirm that there is no truth to the claims being circulated regarding the incident,” the statement said. The statement provided no further details about the suspect.
此前在社交媒体上流传的说法称，一名疑似身穿爆炸背心的自杀式袭击者曾接近克尔白——位于禁寺中心、作为伊斯兰教最神圣圣地的立方体石建筑——随后被安全人员抓获。
Earlier claims circulating on social media alleged that a suspected suicide bomber wearing an explosive vest had approached the Kaaba, a cube-shaped stone building located at the center of the Grand Mosque that serves as Islam's holiest sanctuary, before being apprehended by security personnel.
