RIYADH, March 7 (Reuters) - Saudi authorities have warned foreign embassies that a
group blamed for last month's killing of four French nationals could strike again, the
Interior Ministry said on Wednesday.

"The warning was despatched by the (Saudi) Foreign Ministry to all embassies in the
kingdom," said Mansour al-Turki, the Interior Ministry spokesman for security affairs.

Diplomats said the warning was sent after the Interior Ministry announced on Tuesday
it had arrested some suspects in the killing of the four French nationals.

"Saudi authorities officially notified us on Tuesday that the group could attack again
and urged foreigners to avoid travelling outside cities," a Western diplomat said.
