- The FBI investigates whether a Saudi military's attack on a naval base is an attack
- Three dead and several injured in a shooting at a military base in Florida
The US authorities have not yet ruled on whether the shooting that killed three people and the perpetrator of the massacre at the Pensacola Navy base was a terrorist act.
But they are investigating the messages that the killer supposedly hung up - a Saudi military man named Mohamed Alshamrani - on the Twitter social network - some of them just two hours before committing the action - could offer clues.
The tweets criticize US support for Israel, and what the author considers "hatred" of the United States to Muslims, reflected, according to him, in the prison at the Guantanamo base in Cuba, where Washington maintains without trial 41 suspected members of Al Qaeda, some for almost 20 years. What researchers now want to determine is whether Alshamrani was truly the author of the tweets that appear in his account. According to the New York Times, six Saudis at the base have been arrested, including three who recorded the action on video.
Alshamrani invited three Saudis the night before committing the murders to dinner at his home, where they watched videos of killings in the United States, authorities have confirmed.
The military was a lieutenant who was receiving training at the Pensacola naval base, which contains about 17,000 military and 8,000 civilians. Saudi Arabia maintains about 850 soldiers in the United States receiving training. In total, the US is currently training around 5,000 soldiers from allied countries.
