FBI Finds Links between Pensacola Gunman and Al-Qaeda
(New York Times) Katie Benner and Adam Goldman - The Saudi Air Force cadet who killed three sailors in December at the Pensacola Naval Air Station was regularly in touch with al-Qaeda for years, including the night before the attack, the FBI said Monday. 2nd Lt. Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani had joined the Saudi military to carry out a "special operation," Attorney General William P. Barr said. The Pensacola attack was "the brutal culmination of years of planning and preparation," said FBI Director Christopher A. Wray.
