Weird, they already sent the pilots back. Now, they need apple to unlock the phone to see if there was any terrorist connections, even though they have already cleared the shooter of having any connections.

Breaking: Attorney General: Mass shooting by Saudi national was an act of terror

Attorney General William Barr announced Monday the December mass shooting by a Saudi national that left three American sailors dead in Pensacola, Florida was an act of terrorism.

Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, a second lieutenant in the Royal Saudi Air Force, shot and killed three U.S. navy sailors — Ensign Joshua Kaleb Watson, 23, Airman Mohammed Haitham, 19, and Airman Apprentice Cameron Walters, 21 — and wounded at least eight others at the Naval Air Station Pensacola. Haitham and Walters received posthumous promotions, and Acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly praised them for displaying “the finest warrior ethos and quick decision-making that undoubtedly saved many lives.”

Barr said that “the evidence shows that the shooter was motivated by jihadist ideology.”

On Sept. 11, the Saudi national posted on social media that “the countdown has begun,” and over his Thanksgiving break, he visited the 9/11 memorial in New York City.

...”The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia gave complete and total support to our counterterrorism investigation,” Barr said. “They ordered all Saudi trainees to fully cooperate.” Barr said that during the investigation, “we did learn of derogatory material possessed by 21 Saudi trainees,” including 17 people who had shared “jihadi or anti-American content”...

...Alshamrani showed mass shooting videos during a dinner party the week of the shooting, and a Twitter account believed to belong to Alshamrani expressed extremist and stridently anti-American views, including a tweet which echoed Osama bin Laden: “The security is a shared destiny ... You will not be safe until we live it as reality in [Palestine] and American troops get out of our land.”...
