The US government this month urged Americans to defer non-essential travel to Saudi Arabia. Washington warned of possible attacks in Saudi Arabia on westerners, citing continuous indications of terrorist threats often targeted at transportation and civil aviation. The State Department said it had information indicating that the Seder Village housing compound in Riyadh had been under “active surveillance by terrorists.” Earlier this month, the State Department issued a travel warning urging US citizens to “consider carefully the risks of travel to Lebanon.” The warning cited recent anti-US rhetoric and recent events such as bombings directed at US franchises there.
