WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has called British Prime Minister David Cameron and Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah to discuss the thwarted mail bomb attacks.
White House spokesman Bill Burton says the president also received a briefing Saturday from his national security adviser, John Brennan.
Yemeni authorities are checking more packages in the search for terrorists who tried to mail bombs to Chicago-area synagogues. The plot has raised fears of a new al-Qaida terror attack.
Obama is campaigning Saturday in Bridgeport, Conn., Philadelphia and Chicago.
