12 Dead in Attack on U.S. Saudi Embassy

A bombing today at the U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia left 12 dead and several are still inside. No Americans were killed:

In Riyadh, U.S. Embassy spokeswoman Carol Kalin said four of the five employees killed held administrative jobs and one was a private contract guard on the consulate's payroll. Four other embassy workers - all hired locally - were hospitalized, Kalin said. She said all American employees were safe and none had been taken hostage.

Three of the attackers were killed and two have been captured.
