U S Pledges Help in Saudi War on Terror After Riyadh Bombing
The United States pledged assistance to Saudi Arabia in its war on terror after a car bombing in Riyadh killed at least 17 people. The U S Embassy eased security limits on staff and families, allowing outdoor travel from the guarded diplomatic quarter, while the embassy remained closed indefinitely following warnings. The attack underscored al Qaida’s reach and Saudis labeled it proof of the group’s willingness to shed Arab and Muslim blood.
