US embassy restricts staff access to Saudi's Jeddah, Dammam airports

 

 The US embassy in Saudi Arabia on Sunday said staff working in the kingdom would now be required to request permission to use airports in the cities of Jeddah and Dammam, days after a similar order was issued for Riyadh.
'US government employees working in Saudi Arabia require special authorisation to use the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, as well as the airports in Jeddah and Dammam,' read a statement published online following fatal attacks on Riyadh airport.
