Although its cold comfort to those victimized by the terror attacks in Saudi Arabia, this information from the Economist makes me feel like our intelligence community is doing what it can.

American officials had given warning that a terrorist strike was being planning in Saudi Arabia. On May 1st, the American state department warned its citizens against non-essential travel to Saudi Arabia, citing intelligence that terrorist groups were in the “final phases” of planning attacks against the American community there.
