CAIRO (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia condemned attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, the Saudi foreign ministry said in statement published by the kingdom's official press agency on Thursday.

Supporters of Iranian-backed Iraqi paramilitary groups who stormed the U.S. Embassy perimeter in two days of protests withdrew on Wednesday after Washington dispatched extra troops and threatened reprisals against Tehran.
