Over 12 Saudi military trainees to be expelled from the US

SANAA, Jan. 12 (YPA) – Over 12 Saudi military trainees to be “expelled” from the US after a review conducted after the bloody shooting incident at Pensacola base in Florida, CNN reported on Saturday.

These Saudis are not accused of assisting the Saudi Air Force Lieutenant, Mohammed Al-Shamrani, the shooter, who killed 3 American sailors, while a person familiar with the matter indicated that some of these trainees have links to strict movements, sources said.

The Pentagon referred questions to the Justice Department, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

It is expected that the Ministry of Justice will issue the results of its investigations into the shooting at the Pensacola base last December and considered it a “terrorist act” according to an American source, without accusing others of complicity.

The Saudi government has pledged to provide full support to the investigations.It is reported that there are 850 Saudi military trainers in the US.
