US: 'Imminent threat' against Americans in Saudi's Jeddah

The US government issued an urgent warning Thursday that it has information about a possible attack against its citizens in the Saudi port city of Jeddah. The security message, published online and sent to US travellers registered with department, did not give further details on the reported threat, but reiterated existing guidance for visitors to Saudi Arabia. Earlier this month there were three bomb attacks in Saudi Arabia including one in Jeddah, the kingdom's second city and major Red Sea port, and which CIA director John Brennan said bore the hallmarks of the Islamic State group.
