Report: Saudi servicemen to be expelled from US
2020-01-12
[Arutz 7] - More than a dozen Saudi servicemen training at US military installations will be expelled from the United States after a review that followed the deadly shooting last month at a Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida, multiple sources told CNN on Saturday.

The Saudis in question are not accused of aiding the 21-year-old Saudi Air Force second lieutenant who killed three American sailors in the December shooting, two sources said, but some are said to have connections to extremist movements, according to a person familiar with the situation.

The FBI and Justice Department declined to comment.

The US Navy paused the training of hundreds of Saudi Arabian aviation students at several training locations following the deadly shooting.
