LONDON (AP) - British Airways (BAB) has canceled its Saturday flight from London's Heathrow Airport to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, over security concerns, airline officials said.

It was the third time this week that the airline has canceled flights on security grounds; BA's afternoon flights to Washington's Dulles airport were canceled on Thursday and Friday.

In a statement Friday night, British Airways said Saturday's BA263 to Riyadh had been canceled along with the return flight from the Saudi Arabian city.

News reports said the airline had received news earlier in the day that gave grounds for security fears. No further details were immediately available.
