US reveals Saudi mass shooter at naval base was linked to Al-Qaeda
[ALMASDARNEWS] The American authorities announced on Monday that the Saudi trainee, Mohammed al-Shamrani, who carried out the mass shooting at the Pensacola base in Florida, last year, executed his plans in cooperation with the terrorist organization al-Qaeda.

"We have broken the phone of the attacker and have discovered important information about his relationship with Al Qaeda," U.S. Attorney William Barr said at a news conference.

For his part, Christopher Wray, director of the FBI, stressed during the same presser that "Al-Shamrani was sharing information and plans with the people affiliated with al-Qaeda", during the announcement of new details about the attack carried out by the Saudi trainee inside the base of the U.S. Navy, which resulted in 3 people killed.

An audio recording attributed to al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula
...the latest incarnation of various Qaeda and Qaeda-allied groups, including the now-defunct Aden-Abyan Islamic Army that boomed the USS Cole in 2000...
, broadcast in February, grabbed credit for the attack on the Pensacola base in Florida, but it did not provide evidence.

Before the attack, al-Shamrani criticized the American wars and published statements of al-Qaeda leader the late Osama bin Laden
...... who is now sometimes referred to as Mister Bones......
on social media.

Law enforcement officials killed the shooter during the attack on December 6, 2019.

Al-Shamrani was at the base as part of a naval training program to strengthen ties with foreign allies.
