Claims because of Terrorist activity per MSNBC. Nothing else at this point.

RIYADH (Reuters) - The United States says terrorists are close to carrying out attacks in Saudi Arabia and that U.S. diplomatic missions in the Gulf Arab state will close on Saturday to review the security situation.

An advisory by the U.S. 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."

Not much info here, but it seems as if the US is now running from terrorists. Not a good message, Whistle-ass.
