Must have caught it before the rest of the article was added. Here's what's in there now.
The United States will close its embassy in Saudi Arabia on Saturday to review security procedures, while embassy officials said terrorists are close to launching an attack in the desert kingdom.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Embassy in Kabul issued a warning to journalists in Afghanistan on Friday.
"The United States Embassy in Kabul has received credible information that Taliban forces are actively searching for American journalists to take hostage for use as leverage for the release of Taliban currently under United States control," the embassy statement said. "American journalists in Afghanistan are urged to take immediate steps to increase their security posture in light of these threats."
Fox News' Teri Schultz and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Ha ha ha. Those Taliban are such kidders. Like the President would even consider exchanging a reporter for a terrorist.

Interesting.
To: Hillary's Folly
no, might be just the opposite, it likely means we know they are going to attack us.

i knew that.
I was just using it as a lead in to the serious point: we must know that something is coming down to have taken this step. all of this stuff, these moves, the movement of the air force resources, something is coming down...

Spain closed its embassy in Baghdad last week and called its civilian personnel home to "review security procedures," also. According to the statements in the Spanish press, they will be bringing them back in Dec (when Ramadan is over, in other words).
Bin Laden specifically mentioned Spain in the hit-list in his latest "news-flash from the beyond," and he also threatened a number of other American allies, including Arab states and American interests in Arab states.
I will say that I have been rather scoffing at all the hysteria on FR about "attacks in November," etc., but there are certainly indications that people who actually are in the know are quite concerned.

The Dems have probably added this to their list of things to exploit in the months to come.

terrorists are close to launching an attack in the desert kingdom. The desert kingdom is the heart n soul of all islamic terrorism....
I hope we attack...only sorry I wont be in one of the lead tanks...
Now all we have to do is get them all out of America and shut down their mosques and islamic training camps and then shut CAIR and their ilk down..and send them packin'
