The
United States is removing nearly two dozen Saudi military students from a training program and sending them back to
Saudi Arabia following after an investigation into a deadly
shooting by a Saudi aviation student at a
Florida navy base last month, Attorney General
William Barr said Monday.
Many of the 21 cadets had contact with child pornography and possessed jihadist or anti-American material, Barr said.
None is accused of having advanced knowledge of the shooting, which Barr said was motivated by “jihadist ideology” and which he classified as an act of terrorism.
