U.S. Embassy officials in Saudi Arabia and Interior Ministry officials could not be immediately reached for comment. A suicide bomber carried out an attack early Monday near a U.S. diplomatic site in the Red Sea city of Jiddah, according to state-linked Saudi news sites. It also advised citizens to "carefully consider the risks of traveling to Saudi Arabia." The three-hour battle on the heavily guarded compound came amid a wave of al-Qaida attacks targeting Westerners and Saudi security posts. More recently, Saudi Arabia has been a target of Islamic State group attacks that have killed dozens of people.
