I am very worried about this situation, as I know about it firsthand. My stepson is an oil worker, who had been asked by his company to work in Saudia Arabia on some oil projects.

My husband spoke with him, and he said they were inside a compound with a huge fence around it, and the military surrounding the fence. He said they had made an escape route if they had to use it.

Islamic State is threatening them, as they are against Saudia Arabia participating in the US led coalition against ISIS.

The U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia has issued a warning about a potential militant plot to kidnap Western oil workers.

The warning, issued late Friday, said officials received information about a threat to kidnap the workers, including Americans, from oil fields in the kingdom's Eastern province
