(CNN) -- A suicide bomber set off a large blast Wednesday, causing severe damage to the General Security building in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
Eyewitnesses said bomber was blown apart by the blast.
Television pictures from the scene showed the entire front of the five-story building had been shattered. Burned-out and damaged cars littered the area nearby.
The blast went off at a time when the building would have been filled with workers.
Ambulances rushed to the scene but there was no official word from the Saudi government on how many people had been killed or injured.
A senior Interior Ministry official said authorities were tipped off to six explosive devices. He said authorities were able to find and defuse five.
However, he said the sixth exploded.
The blast went off on Al-Washim street in the Naseriah neighborhood. The area is also near the Saudi Information Ministry and the headquarters for the security forces who guard the Saudi royal family.
Truck bombs defused
On Tuesday, Saudi security forces defused two truck bombs outside Riyadh, a security source said, bringing the number of car bombs seized in the kingdom to five within a week.
The vehicles were discovered late Monday at Shuaib Juraidal in Rumhiyah village, 56 miles (90 kilometers) east of Riyadh.
After the two vehicles were found, security forces and helicopters searched the area for armed men, who fled the area in a Jeep, residents told Arab News.
On Sunday, an Interior Ministry official announced the arrest of eight suspects linked to recent deadly clashes with security forces and car bombs. (Full story)
The Saudi Press Agency quoted the official giving details of three seized vehicles packed with thousands of pounds of explosives, including one vehicle authorities had been searching for since February.
Saudi police set up several checkpoints in Riyadh.
