    Saudi Military Base Shooter had Unexplained Connections to 9/11

    [Editor’s note: I have mixed feelings about this one, because it tends to reinforce the false belief that 19 Islamic hijackers were responsible for 9/11, which is provably untrue. See, for example, “9/11: Who was responsible and why” . I post it because it draws attention to an odd aspect of 9/11, where the Saudis appear to have assisted in its financing and where 15 of the 19 alleged perpetrators were Saudi citizens.]
    Naval Air Station Pensacola was on lockdown Friday, December 6, 2019 after a Saudi Arabian military pilot training in the US opened fire leaving three people dead and several others wounded.
    The alleged gunman in the fatal shooting Friday at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida, in which at least three were killed and others wounded, is a Saudi national who had been assigned to the base for the past two years.

    The training of the suspected shooter, Mohammed Alshamrani, was paid for by the Saudi government. CNN cited a law enforcement source saying that Alshamrani — a second lieutenant in the Royal Saudi Air Force — was vetted upon entry to the US and his background checked again after the shooting with no red flags discovered.

    And the case becomes more and more bizarre. The night before the shooting, Alshamrani reportedly gave a dinner party for three other Saudis during which time they watched videos of other mass shootings.

    At least one of those men apparently also videotaped outside the building during the shooting at the naval base, as the other two sat in a car watching. Coincidence? Or did they have advance knowledge of what was to take place? Later, they told investigatorsthat they “just happened to be there at the time.”

    On Saturday evening, the Washington Post reported being told by an official that “There are no indications of a conspiracy at the moment.” And he added “Alshamrani may have been self-radicalized.” The Post also reported that Alshamrani wrote a letter shortly before the shootings condemning the US for “funding crimes against Muslims,” and for supporting Israel.

    Saudi extremist activity in Florida involving figures tied to the Saudi government is certainly not new. But the details have seemingly not drawn any sustained interest by US authorities. In fact, quite the opposite: Inquiries, including by law enforcement, seem to have been shut down.

    Perhaps the strangest story involves ties between the 9/11 hijackers and a Saudi family living in Sarasota, FL, until just before those attacks. WhoWhatWhy investigated that matter, and was struck by the lack of interest shown by officials in the deeply disturbing particulars, which suggested possible awareness of the 9/11 plot at high levels of the Saudi royal family.
    In that case, too, key figures were supposedly vetted by the US government.

    As we learned, a counterterrorism officer, an FBI agent, and a senator who were determined to continue probing the matter were variously warned off, stonewalled, or reassigned.

    It seems worth considering how much the US’s dependence on oil from the Arabian Peninsula figures in any failures to probe — just as the US was very quick to let members of the Saudi royal family in the United States at the time of the attacks leave the country without being interrogated, despite severe restrictions on flights.

    It also is very careful not to use incendiary wording like “terrorist” when it involves the Saudis, including those in the Pensacola case.

    President Donald Trump declined to say whether the shooting was related to terrorism, and he seemed more concerned with dissassociating the Saudi government from the shooter. He tweeted “The King said that the Saudi people are greatly angered by the barbaric actions of the shooter, and that this person in no way shape or form represents the feelings of the Saudi people who love the American people.”

    However, Rep. Matt Gaetz, (R-FL), an outspoken Trump loyalist who represents Pensacola, did not hesitate to call the act terrorism, and to demand that the Saudis in no way interfere with the investigation of the mass shooting.

    Critics have noted that the forbearance granted Saudi Arabia is exceptional — certainly not a courtesy that would have been extended had suspects been from, say, Iran.
