Suicide bombs rocked two Saudi Arabian cities on Monday, killing at least four security officers, wounding five other people — and coming just hours after authorities in a third city stopped a bomber just feet from the U.S. Consulate.

The explosions capped a week of bloodshed across the region, with Baghdad experiencing what is believed to be its worst attack in a decade and Bangladesh witnessing a gruesome standoff that left 20 hostages dead, many of them foreigners.

In Saudi Arabia, the attacks began Sunday night, when a suicide bomber was stopped by security personnel in a hospital parking lot about 30 feet from the U.S. Consulate in Jeddah.
The bomber detonated an explosive belt, killing himself and "slightly" injuring two officers, the Saudi Interior Ministry said in a statement. No Americans were hurt and all State Department personnel were accounted for.
Hours later, on the other side of the country, a pair of suicide bombers attacked the Persian Gulf city of Qatif, a Ministry of Interior source confirmed to NBC News. Details of casualties in the largely minority Shi'ite city were not immediately available.

That grenade blast at a bar last week killed eight and was carried out by two men instructed by a Malaysian man fighting with ISIS in Syria, according to the AP.
The bar, which was playing a soccer match at the time of the explosion, was described as un-Islamic by the militants.
Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain have all condemned blasts in Saudi Arabia.
Egypt's Foreign Ministry said the attack confirms that terrorism "knows no religion or belief or any meaning of humanity."
A Foreign Ministry official in the UAE was quoted in the state-run WAM news agency as saying the stability of Saudi Arabia "is the main pillar of the stability of the United Arab Emirates and the whole of the Gulf Arab region."
The secretary general of the 57-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which is headquartered in Saudi Arabia, said the attacks are an attempt to destabilize the kingdom. Iyad Madani says the kingdom's security is "the cornerstone of security and stability in the region a
