Senator for French people abroad, Christophe Frassa, condemned the attack in a tweet, giving his “support and solidarity” to the Frenchmen present.
He said: “In this 11 November , I think first of all of my compatriots from Jeddah who have just undergone a second attack during ceremonies commemorating the Armistice 1918.
“They have all my support and solidarity.”
