Three Sailors died during an active shooter incident at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Dec. 6. 2019. Their families and families of the injured have filed a lawsuit claiming that Saudi and Saudi students and trainees at the base knew of the planning and did not act to prevent the murders.
“Al-Shamrani was a Trojan Horse sent by his country, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and its proxy, al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, for flight training at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida, under the auspices of a program tied to billions of dollars in military arms sales from the United States to the Kingdom,” the lawsuit states according to AP.. “Little did the American people know that such an arrangement would soon devolve into a horrific, Faustian bargain.”
