RIYADH, May 1: The Saudi government has no knowledge about the contents of a security message issued by the US embassy in Riyadh on Wednesday warning that terrorist groups may be in the final phases of planning attacks against the American community in Saudi Arabia, Saudi Interior Minister Prince Naif was quoted as saying by the press.

“There is nothing that currently suggests that something like this is imminent, but given the circumstances and developments taking place something might,” Prince Naif said.

“I know nothing of this matter. This is a matter relating to the country concerned and we have not received any information from anyone regarding this matter,” Prince Naif told reporters.
