U.S. Embassy Warns of New Saudi Attacks
By ADNAN MALIK
Associated Press Writer

MANAMA, Bahrain -- The U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia said Tuesday that it fears renewed attacks on housing complexes for Westerners in the capital and barred diplomats from visiting them at night.

Militants attacked three compounds for foreigners in Riyadh in May, detonating vehicle bombs that killed 35 people including the nine assailants. Another suicide attack killed 17 people in the capital on Nov. 8.

Embassy spokeswoman Carol Kalin told The Associated Press by phone from Riyadh on Tuesday that the Seder Village compound in Riyadh has been under "active surveillance" by terrorists and other housing complexes may also be targeted.

Kalin said the embassy had barred its American employees and dependents from visiting housing compounds in Riyadh between the hours of 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. "except for official business."

1. Well if you keep saying it, it will hit the right day.
Maybe I am in a bad mood to day. Bush and Co, seem really off the wall to day, and they make me mad. I did read on the 'kill anything that moves site' and that always makes me crazy.
