The embassy warned US citizens to take extra precautions and keep a low profile if they were out in public. "All US citizens are encouraged to be aware of their surroundings, and take extra precautions when travelling throughout the country," it said.
"The Department of State urges US citizens to carefully consider the risks of travelling to Saudi Arabia and limit nonessential travel within the country." The embassy on Friday had warned that Western oil workers risked being attacked or kidnapped by terrorsits groups.
