WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 (Xinhuanet) -- US President George W. Bush said Monday that the attack on the U.S. consulate in the Saudi port city of Jeddah showed that "terrorists are still on the move" and he thanked the Saudi authorities for what they did in response.

    "The attacks in Saudi Arabia remind us that the terrorists are still on the move. They want us to leave Saudi Arabia, they want us to leave Iraq, they want us to grow timid and weary in the face of their willingness to kill randomly, kill innocent people," Bush said after his talks with visiting Iraqi interim president Ghazi al-Yawar.

    Both Bush and Yawar said they were committed to holding Iraq's scheduled Jan. 30 elections on time.

    Their comments came after a group of gunmen stormed the US consulate in Jeddah on Monday and killed at least four Saudi national guards and took 18 local staff hostage. Enditem
