First on CNN: More than a dozen Saudi servicemen to be expelled from US after review of December sho

Source: CNN

More than a dozen Saudi servicemen training at US military installations will be expelled from the United States after a review that followed the deadly shooting last month at a Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida, multiple sources told CNN.

The Saudis are not accused of aiding the 21-year-old Saudi Air Force second lieutenant who killed three American sailors in the December shooting, two sources said, but some are said to have connections to extremist movements, according to a person familiar with the situation.

A number are also accused of possessing child pornography, according to a defense official and the person familiar with the situation. Spokespeople for the FBI and Justice Department declined to comment.

When it comes to brutal theocracies who torture, kill, and oppress people, the US will always ally with the one who kills Americans as long as we get billions of their dollars in investments. Money is honey.
