WASHINGTON - Nearly 175 Saudi Arabian military aviation students have been grounded as part of a safety stand-down after a Saudi Air Force lieutenant shot and killed three people last week at a U.S. Navy base in Florida, U.S. officials told Reuters on Tuesday.
The FBI has said U.S. investigators believe Saudi Air Force Second Lieutenant Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, 21, acted alone when he attacked a U.S. Navy base in Pensacola, Florida on Friday, before he was fatally shot by a deputy sheriff.
A safety stand-down and operational pause commenced Monday for Saudi Arabian aviation students, said Lieutenant Andriana Genualdi, a Navy spokeswoman.
Another U.S. official said the grounding was to help Saudi students prepare to eventually restart their training and similar procedures would have been taken if such an incident took place in a U.S. military squadron.
Genualdi said the grounding included three different military facilities: Naval Air Station Pensacola, Naval Air Station Whiting Field and Naval Air Station Mayport, all in Florida.
She added that while it was unclear when the Saudi students would be allowed to fly again, their classroom training was expected to resume soon. She added that aviation training had resumed for students from other countries.

Since 15 of these filthy, subhuman animals knew of the attack before it happened and some filmed it as it happened ALL of them should be summarily kicked out of the country.
DNIF. At least. Good start
yup...if they proceeded with a fraction of caution 18+ years ago, 9-11 may have never taken place..
You mean, like Democrats?
Except for the 6 others arressted with 3 of them filming the action.
Pretty much.
They need to be called out as such daily.
Exactly, at least this kinda crap better explains to us how 9/11 happened.
Standing down on training the Saudi's. Huh...
Gee, what about the other locked-and-loaded mus-slimes the DoD is teaching to fly from these garden spots of Islamic paradise?
Give them flying lessons catapult style.
The nickname "Porn 'stache" is available.
My guess is that it's part of the contract when we sell them fighter jets, otherwise they'd sit around and collect dust.
GOOD GOD DAMN IT - DIFFERENT THAN THE DAMN BUSHES!
IT IS F*CKING TIME TO CHANGE AMERICA _ NOW!
AFTER THREE YEARS TRUMP STILL CAN’T CONTROL HIS CIA FBI DOJ OR SOS BUT HE CAN REALLY START NOW TO TRY SINCE HE KNOWS THEY STILL ARE ON THE OUTSIDE!
Trump bringing back the Japanese internment camps!
Grounds for impeachment.
Not just grounded. Restricted to quarters. No going off-base whatsoever.
Because their airforce sux. They got routed on the ground by Yemen recently. Twice. Yemen.
I think we should let them continue with their flying lessons, but first a little test. Take them up a few thousand feet and boot their asses out the door of the aircraft, and see if they can fly.
I’m sorry. I must have missed that. You are saying he had co conspirators FILMING? A source if u please. That is interesting.
SEND ALL MUSLIMS BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM,,,,,THEY WILL NEVER ASSIMILATE JUST LIE CHEAT STEAL AND EVERN KILL THE INFIDEL. THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE TAUGHT FROM AGE 4 THROUGH AGE 10. CHECK OUT THE 68 PASSAGES THAT DEMAND THAT IN THE KORAN.
Sounds like the right move.
acted alone??!??!!??
His buddies videoed the attack! How the hell is that “acted alone” you idiots?
I hope they’ve all been restricted to base or their room as well.
