FBI Discovers al Qaeda Link in Pensacola AttackThe Saudi aviation student who killed three people at a Florida Navy base last year was in touch with a suspected al Qaeda operative, a discovery authorities made based on information found in the gunman’s locked iPhones. Trump:'Saudi Arabia is so nice. Look at all the guns and bombs they bought from us. What terrorists? What genocide in Yemen?' Obama: 'Saudi Arabia is our dear friend. It helps us in the fight against terror.' I'm so tired of the anonymous information. I think now is a good time to add your name to your voice. Especially if it concerns extremely important information. This article doesn't meet that standard per say. But in general it looks like lies to me at this point. He must have killed white people, if he had killed a black jogger it would have been all over the news.
