The Pentagon has completed a security screening of all Saudi Arabian military students in the United States and found no security threats, defense officials said Thursday, nearly two weeks after a Saudi lieutenant killed three people and wounded eight others at a Navy base in Florida.
Garry Reid, the director for defense intelligence, said the Defense Department will next vet students from other countries who are here for military training. The new layer of Pentagon screening includes an automated review of government databases, commercial data and publicly available information that is also examined by analysts, Reid said.
