Saudi Arabia: US Embassy Issues Security Alert

US Embassy reminds to exercise caution in places frequented by foreigners

On 12 June, the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia issues a security message, reiterating its recommendations that US citizens exercise caution in places frequented by foreigners, due to the continuing risk of terrorist attacks directed by or inspired by ISIS and al Qaeda-linked elements. In the past, terrorist attacks have targeted Saudi government forces and public venues.

On 11 June, researches identified a video released by the Islamic State in Iraq and Sham (ISIS), featuring group members who carried out the 7 June attacks in Tehran. In the video, the ISIS members declared that Saudi Arabia and the country’s royal family will be attacked next.

Those operating or residing in Saudi Arabia are advised to be aware of the threat of terrorism in the country. The US government has restricted US government personnel and families from travelling within 50 miles of the Saudi-Yemen border, including to the cities of Jizan and Najran; to Qatif in the Eastern province and its surrounding suburbs, including Awamiyah; and to Honuf and its suburbs in the al Hasa governorate. Regardless of your location, keep your security and situational awareness high. Be prepared to cancel or postpone activities should circumstances dictate it.
