A suicide car bomber blew off the front of a security office building in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, today, witnesses told Reuters and a local English-language newspaper.

At least 10 people were killed, the newspaper and Reuters said, citing witnesses. The death toll was expected to rise.

Dozens were reported wounded in what a Saudi Interior Ministry official described as a "terrorist attack."

The official, who was not identified, told Reuters that a car packed with explosives blew up in Al Murabaa district.
