Saudi Arabia says 12 killed, 309 wounded in attack on Riyadh airport

Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil Aviation says at least 12 people were killed and 309 wounded in Saturday's attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, the third attack on the airport in a week. The dead were four Saudis, two Bangladeshis and one each from the United States, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine and Sudan. The Saudi-led coalition blamed Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis and vowed to respond; the Houthis warned travelers against using most Saudi airports. Airport operations were suspended. President Trump said the U.S. may join Saudi strikes on the Houthis: "We may. We're going to look at it."
