Saudi Arabia is removing 21 cadets from military training in the U.S. after an FBI investigation into the shooting rampage that killed three sailors last month at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida, Attorney General William Barr said.
Barr said Monday that investigators found 17 of the cadets “had social media containing some jihadi or anti-American content” but that “there was no evidence of any affiliation or involvement with any terrorist activity or group.”
