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.

Rigorous and grueling extensive background checks on each and everyone, period....or send them back from where they came. In fact, serious consideration should be made to end said program!

It took just 19 saudi’s to kill nearly 3,000 and wound 11,000 people and start a war that has killed a million people.
How much money are the saudi’s paying our politicians?
Do the saudi’s promise to kill just the “little” people and not them in terrorist attacks?
Close all mosques here and kick out all from the mideast.
Send ‘em back to their sand dunes.
Would Obama ground his allies? Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha
Drudge now says there are 300. That’s an entire battalion.
Why is there a battalion of enemy combatants on American soil?
SEND THEM ALL HOME
Why? Just shoot them.
Didn’t they arrest or detain 6 other Saudi nationals in connection with this shooting?
These people don’t act “alone”; they martyr alone but they never plan alone.
Get them all out of this country NOW. Like it or not, the house of saud is NOT our friend & I don’t care whose hand he holds.
AMERICA FIRST!!!
FOX said there are 852 foreign nationals training on our bases.
852!!!!!!
