Saudi suspect arrested in Riyadh
2005-06-14
Saudi police arrested a suspicious person who was spotted while scrutinizing a building that houses the offices of a U.S. company in east Riyadh. Daily al-Riyadh said Tuesday the man was spotted going around the building in his car several times in the neighborhood of Janadriya, sparking the suspicion of the company guards. Police ordered the man to stop and shot him when he tried to escape. "The man suffered a minor injury and was rushed to hospital, as policemen cordoned off the area and conducted searches for more suspects," the paper said. The identity of the suspect was not released.

WARDEN MESSAGE

June 8, 2005

The Embassy requests that wardens pass the following message in its entirety to members of the American Community:

The American Embassy advises American citizens in Saudi Arabia that Saudi Public Security has notified residents of Western housing compounds in the Dhahran region of a possible terrorist threat against compounds housing Americans. Following consultations with Saudi authorities, the U.S. Embassy is aware of no specific terrorist threat at this time. American citizens should, nonetheless, maintain a heightened awareness of their surroundings and be alert to possible security threats.

Warden messages can be found on the U.S. Embassy Riyadh website:<http://riyadh.usembassy.gov/>.
