**FILE** Saudi special forces gather outside the gates of the U.S. consulate in Jiddah, Saudi Arabia, on Dec. 6, 2004, following a terrorist attack which killed at least 12 people. Islamic militants threw explosives at the gate of the heavily guarded U.S. consulate in Jiddah, then forced their way in and held hostages at gunpoint in a bold assault that prompted a three-hour gunbattle.
