KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 30 (SPA) - The U.S. embassy in Kuala Lumpur was closed on Friday due to a security threat, a spokeswoman in the Malaysian capital said. "We got some information indicating there was a threat to the embassy and decided to close at 11.40 (0340 GMT) this morning," Kathryn Taylor said. "I'm afraid I can't be more specific." Taylor said the embassy would remain closed at least until Tuesday because Monday is a public holiday in the United States. "We'll reassess on Monday whether to open on Tuesday," she was quoted as saying by Reuters. --SPA 11 18 Local Time 08 18 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/315630
