US embassy in Riyadh says govt personnel require authorization to use all Saudi airports

The U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia said on Monday that U.S. government employees must obtain authorization before using any airport in the kingdom following a series of deadly attacks.

"U.S. government employees working in Saudi Arabia require special authorization to use any airport in Saudi Arabia," the mission said in a statement. It also urged U.S. citizens to "take extreme caution" if they choose to use Saudi airports.
