More than a dozen Saudi military personnel training in the U.S. are being expelled following an investigation into a shooting rampage at a Florida military base that killed three American service members, multiple media outlets are reporting.

Eight others were wounded in the Dec. 6 attack at Naval Air Station Pensacola.

The Saudis being ousted are not accused of conspiring with the shooter, a 21-year-old member of the Royal Saudi Air Force, CNN reported. Some were found to have connections to extremist groups and others were found in possession of child porn, CNN said, citing two officials close to the investigation.

The Washington Post said federal officials were preparing to announce developments in the case within days.

The gunman, a second lieutenant, was fatally shot by a sheriff’s deputy responding to the attack. The Pentagon then grounded all Saudi pilots training in the United States.

So much for the background checks and extensive screening they went through.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

What about the accomplices that were filming the attack?

It will be interesting to see how they are treated when they get back to Saudi Arabia. Will the government punish them or will they return to military duty as if nothing ever happened?

The islamists are told to lie, to further Islam. Even when they become citizens of USA, they are lying.  BOSTON BOMBERS, were asked about that.  He said, they lied. Sharia Law, number 34.  Nonie Darwish. Sharia for Dummies.  Number one, is JIHAD.

This country has developed a strange idea of who its friends are.

Saudi Arabia is not our friend.

Saudi Arabia is removing 21 cadets from military training in the U.S. after an investigation into the shooting rampage that killed three sailors last month at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla., Attorney General William Barr said.

Barr said Monday that 17 of the cadets “had social media containing some jihadi or anti-American content” but that “there was no evidence of any affiliation of involvement with any terrorist activity or group.”

The attack raised questions about the adequacy of screening for foreign trainees. In addition to jihadist content, Barr said 15 of the trainees “had some kind of contact with child pornography.”
