Published:
1 June 2004 y., Tuesday
Saudi officials sought Sunday to reassure foreign oil executives and prevent a dramatic rise in crude prices after the lethal attack on two compounds housing offices and homes of expatriates working in the country's most important industry.
The weekend rampage by gunmen that killed 22 in the Saudi city of Khobar was the second such attack in less than a month. Saudi officials and foreign analysts voiced concern that it might frighten some would-be investors and oil service company employees from doing business in Saudi Arabia.
