CAIRO - Al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen claimed responsibility Sunday for last year’s deadly shooting at the Naval Air Station Pensacola by an aviation student from Saudi Arabia. The shooter, 2nd Lt. Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, was a member of the Saudi Air Force in training at the base. Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP, released a video claiming the attack. The video claimed that Alshamrani had been planning for years to attack a U.S. base, and had been training and “selecting” targets. President Donald Trump retweeted several tweets and media reports that seemed to offer confirmation the strike killed al-Rimi.
