A U.S. civilian working at a naval base in Saudi Arabia was shot three times in the abdomen but is expected to recover, a U.S. diplomat said. “It seems he was shot by someone in a Saudi naval uniform,” said the diplomat, on condition of anonymity.

The Saudi Press Agency said the gunman fled after the attack at King Abdul Aziz Naval Base near Jubayl. Sources in Jubayl said the attack took place in the victim’s home.
