Warden Notice 08/06 (14 June 2006)

My last wardens notice of 22nd May 2006 warned of a possible plan to attack Westerners pursuing leisure activities in the desert outside Riyadh . Our revised assessment is that there is nothing to suggest a specific plan. The FCO's travel advice has therefore been changed to reflect this. The new wording is;

'There is a continuing high threat of terrorism in Saudi Arabia . We continue to believe that terrorists are planning further attacks in Saudi Arabia , including against Westerners and places associated with Westerners. They may consider Westerners pursuing leisure activities in the desert as a possible target. We believe aviation interests remain a possible terrorist target.'
