Saudi Arabia concerns

This item appears on page 22 of the September 2008 issue.

The Department of State reminds travelers that there is an ongoing security threat in Saudi Arabia due to the continued presence of terrorist groups who may target Western interests and facilities as well as Saudi government facilities and economic/commercial targets.

Although terrorists have not conducted a successful attack against Westerners there since February 2007, the United States Mission continues to bar personnel’s family from living there.
