If there is a full blown civil war, like most of the Middle East, then it may be time to pack our bags. Last thing anyone wants is to be caught in the cross fire.

Edit: Yes, another bomb today in Dammam.

Is this another one, or the one that was last week? Any further details?

ISIS Claims 2nd Saudi Attack....

Doubtful that Saudi security will do anything to deter this terrorism since it is helping the government to fix the Shiia problem by killing them off.

Sadly, this kind of thing is probably applauded by the majority of Saudis.

Wow with all this civic unrest, the rockets and boms to and from Yemen, i would be suprised if someone comes on the forum asking which city is safe out of the lot.

Yes, me too. The family leaves next week and I follow as soon as possible after that.
