Saudi Arabia warned against opening Baghdad embassy
 A coalition of Iraqi Sunni Muslim insurgents warned Saudi Arabia on Monday against opening an embassy in Baghdad, saying the move would comfort the Shiite-dominated government. The Iraqi insurgent umbrella group, the Jihad and Reform Front, warned Saudi Arabia against an embassy. "At the time that the Iraqi people, particularly the Sunnis, look for the support of their brothers everywhere ... Saudi Arabia comes out with a strange wish to support al-Maliki by opening an embassy in Baghdad," the group said in a statement posted on its Web site. "The Jihad and Reform Front warns against such a step and calls on the government and people of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia not to implement this wish, especially at this time when al-Maliki's government is in its worst and weakest situation," the statement said.
