U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia to Shut Down

The U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia says it will close for at least four days, due to fears of more attacks on unspecified targets following the May 12 suicide bombings in Riyadh. Saudi authorities suspect al Qaeda is responsible for the attacks. And the FBI issues a bulletin warning state and local agencies that the terrorist network could strike in the United States. Hear NPR's Kate Seelye.
