US embassy cable - 05JEDDAH2079

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

Emergency Action Committee to discuss the security situation 
in Jeddah.  In attendance was the the DCM from Riyadh and 
representatives from RSO, Dhahran RSO, PA, BPM, CONS, IPC, 
POL, DHS, USMTM and OPM/SANG.

security presence around Jeddah.  According to the MOI, the 
increase in checkpoints and patrols is part of standard 
procedure and not in conjunction with any specific threat or 
concern for attack.  The DCM reminded the EAC of the 
potential for circular reporting, often generated by the MOI, 
as they continue to keep their forces vigulant.  No new or 
specific threats are directed at the Coonsulate. 
 
3.  (S) The EAC approved the social calendar, which included 
events this week, as the CG prepares to depart Post.
