State Dept. Issues Saudi Arabia Travel Warning, Citing Yemeni Rebels
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The Trump administration is cautioning Americans against traveling to
Saudi Arabia-not over the country's abysmal human rights record, but
because of the threat posed by ballistic missiles fired into the kingdom
by rebels in neighboring Yemen. Tuesday's travel warning by the State
Department came just over two weeks after Houthi fighters launched a
missile at the main airport in Riyadh. It was shot down and crashed in
the desert.
