> Saudi organisers say preparations remain on schedule for the Asian Cup, set for January 7 to February 5 next year. Yemen’s Houthi group claimed a series of attacks on Riyadh, including Saturday’s airport attack that killed 14 and wounded more than 300. The Asian Tour indefinitely postponed the Saudi International, while Australia withdrew from the urban cycling World Championships in Riyadh.
