Now blame this one on W:

From Reuters....


British Airways (BAB) has canceled its Saturday flight from London's Heathrow Airport to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, over security concerns, airline officials said.

It was the third time this week that the airline has canceled flights from Britain on security grounds; BA's afternoon flights to Washington's Dulles airport on Thursday and Friday also were grounded.

In a statement Friday night, British Airways said Flight BA263 to Riyadh, which had been due to leave Heathrow at 1335 GMT Saturday had been canceled, along with the return flight BA262 from Riyadh, which had been due to leave the Saudi Arabian city on Sunday.

Not from Reuters, but from AP, and here's the link.
