The U.S. Embassy and Consulates General in Jeddah and Dhahran closed May 21 until at least May 25, and the British and German embassies also closed temporarily.

Saudi Arabia

Despite authorities disrupting a terrorist plot as recently as May 6, suicide bombers succeeded in attacking three housing compounds used by Westerners and a joint Saudi-U.S. business in Riyadh. Scores were injured and at least 29 killed. The attack came 12 days after the U.S. State Department had warned that “terrorist groups may be in the final phases of planning attacks against U.S. interests” here. The State Department has ordered the departure of all non-emergency personnel and family members, and warns U.S. citizens to defer non-essential travel here.

The U.S. State Department warned Americans to avoid nonessential travel to Saudi Arabia because “terrorist groups may be in the final phases of planning attacks against U.S. interests” here. There is no information about potential targets, and the Embassy advised personnel to limit travel to essential business only.
