U.S. Missions Reopen, but Caution Remains
The United States reopened its three diplomatic missions in Saudi Arabia but warned Americans there to stay vigilant.
A warden’s message posted on the U.S. Embassy website asked people to review the State Department’s May 17 travel warning urging Americans to defer nonessential travel to Saudi Arabia because of the possibility of terrorist attacks.
On Sunday, the embassy said it would be closed Monday and Tuesday, together with the consulates in Jidda and Dhahran, because of “a threat against U.S. government buildings in the kingdom.”
