Al Qaeda will strike at the weakest point of our defenses......and Saudi Arabia is pretty much their home turf.....if a strike is going to happen it will be there I think.

CMSGOP.....we were talking about an attack in Saudi Arabia....on Sabertooths thread last week.

From ITV:

US shuts Saudi embassy

The United States says that terrorists are close to carrying out attacks in Saudi Arabia and that US diplomatic missions in the country will be temporarily closed.

An advisory by the US embassy in Riyadh said: "The embassy continues to receive credible information that terrorists in Saudi Arabia have moved from the planning to operational phase of planned attacks in the kingdom.

"In light of the seriousness of the current threat, the embassy in Riyadh and the US consulates general in Jeddah and Dhahran will close on Saturday, November 8, to review their current security posture.

"The American community will be advised when this review is completed and when the US mission plans to resume normal operations."
