The United States will close its missions in Saudi Arabia on Saturday for an undetermined period because of "credible" information that terrorists are about to carry out attacks, the U.S. Embassy said Friday.
The American Embassy in Riyadh, said Americans in the kingdom should be "vigilant when in any area that is perceived to be American or Western."
The embassy said in a warden message on its Web site that the missions in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dhahran would close to assess their "security posture."
They will then advise the American community when the review is completed and when the missions plan to resume normal operations. The embassy said it had received "credible information that terrorists in Saudi Arabia have moved from the planning to operational phase of planned attacks in the kingdom." (Albawaba.com)
