Saudi Arabia convenes Arab leaders over recent attacks

Saudi Arabia has called an emergency summit of Gulf and Arab leaders to discuss the implications of this week’s attacks against the kingdom and neighboring United Arab Emirates.

Saudi foreign ministry said on Twitter that the meeting is set for 30th of this month in Makkah.

Four commercial ships were sabotaged off the coast of the United Arab Emirates on Sunday, and two days later drones attacked oil installations west of the Saudi capital Riyadh.

Meanwhile, Saudi crown prince discussed regional developments, including efforts to strengthen security and stability, in a phone call with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
