The suspect who was shot dead as he carried out Thursday's 'terrorism-related' attack on a Texas naval air base has been identified by the FBI as a 20-year-old Syrian-born college student.

According to investigators, Adam Salim Alsahli opened fire at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi in an attack that wounded one sailor, a member of the base security force, but no one other than the assailant was killed.

A group that monitors online activity of jihadists has since claimed that Alsahli voiced support for hardline Islamic clerics on social media prior to the thwarted attack.

This one's going down the memory hole quick. Three hours ago he was 37 but his pictures have been scrubbed along with his twitter account.
Same as the "devout Muslim" that murdered his entire family a few months ago. Initial story then nothing.

These are Syrian "refugees" snuck in under the radar by Catholic Charities during the reign of Barack al Kenya.

"The gunman tried to speed through a security gate at the base at 6.15am, opening fire and wounding the sailor. But she was able to roll over and hit a switch that raised a barrier, preventing Alsahli from getting onto the base..."

Go NAVY!

“... the easiest, most effective and cheapest “anti-terror” measure the US could have taken would be a simple travel ban..”


And when President Trump proposed a limited version of the plan, he was denounced as a racist and Federal judges (in HI & CA) issued injunctions against it.

Businesses need the cheap labor and the baby-making consumers.

They're hoping Hollywood will secularize them quick enough that we won't have to worry too much about terrorism.

Base Security has always been armed.

What do you mean 5 month? It just happened yesterday. This one is about the Attack at the Navy base in Corpus Christi, Texas.

You must be talking about the one in Pensacola, Florida

Naval Air Station Pensacola shooting

On the morning of December 6, 2019, a terrorist attack occurred at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Pensacola, Florida. The assailant killed three men and injured eight others.[ The shooter was killed by Escambia County sheriff deputies after they arrived at the scene.

He was identified as Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, an aviation student from Saudi Arabia.

] The FBI investigated the case as a presumed terrorism incident, while searching for the motive behind the attack. On January 13, 2020, the Department of Justice said they have officially classified the incident as an act of terrorism, motivated by "jihadist ideology."
