“Two security officers were injured as a result of the failed bombing,” media reports said.
Reports also said that the attacker parked his car outside a mosque opposite the consulate and shortly afterwards detonated his device after being tackled by security guards.
The Jeddah consulate was the scene of a militant attack in 2004, which left nine people dead.
