AL-QAIDA TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR ATTACK

An Al-Qaida branch in Yemen has claimed responsibility for the deadly shooting at the Naval Air Station Pensacola by an aviation student from Saudi Arabia. Three people were killed and 8 wounded by Lieutenant Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, a member of the Saudi Air Force who was training at the base. He was subsequently killed by Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies. Al-Qaida released a video in which they said Alshamrani had been planning to attack a U.S. base for year, and they provided a will written by Alshamrani to his family in September 2019, three months prior to attack.
