Gunmen Raid U.S. Consulate in Saudi Arabia
By CHRISTINE HAUSER

A group of attackers stormed the American Consulate in the Saudi Arabian city of Jidda today, using explosives at the gates to breach the outer wall and enter the compound, the Saudi Interior Ministry said in a statement. Three of the attackers were killed and two were wounded and detained when they battled with Saudi security forces, the ministry said.

Four Saudi guards were also killed and 18 members of the consulate's local staff were taken hostage, Reuters quoted security officials as saying.

Television footage broadcast by Arab channels showed plumes of smoke rising from the building located in the Red Sea city. The attack took place at 11 a.m., the ministry said in the statement, which was carried by the government Saudi Press Agency.

The footage showed Saudi security forces taking cover from behind their vehicles outside the compound.

"I can confirm there has been an attack on the U.S. Consulate in Jidda," Reuters quoted a United States Embassy spokeswoman, Carol Kalin, as saying."The incident is ongoing with Saudi security forces trying to secure the building." She said there was no word on American casualties.
