This is the second case of Quran desecration in the city in less than a month, Saudia News reported.
A few weeks ago copies of the Quran and religious books were found discarded in the city.
Also, earlier this year, state organizations in Saudi Arabia desecrated the Holy Quran by discarding over fifty copies in Taif city’s street sewerage canals.
The incident was reported by a local student, who saw the holy books on his way home in Al-Salama district of Taif.
The service company that specializes in opening drainage inlets was then called, and dozens of copies of the Quran were retrieved, IQNA reported Sunday.
The desecration of the holy Quran in a country, which is the birthplace of Islam, has raised eyebrows in the Muslim world.
