WASHINGTON, May 18 (Reuters) - The FBI found cellphone evidence linking al Qaeda to the Royal Saudi Air Force trainee who killed three American sailors in a December attack at a U.S. naval base in Florida after cracking his phone open, Attorney General William Barr said on Monday.

The shooter, Second Lieutenant Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, 21, was killed by law enforcement during the Dec. 6, 2019 attack.

He was on the base as part of a U.S. Navy training program designed to foster links with foreign allies.

The Justice Department succeeded in unlocking the encryption on the shooter's iPhone after Apple Inc declined to do so, Barr told reporters on a conference call.

[Mr.Bill]

1. Well, coming from William Barr,

I do not believe a single word of this.

[stillcool]

2. me neither...first thought..

what's the angle here? Just trying to make it look like they do something other than covering-up crime

[yaesu]

3. fake news if it comes from barr nt

[NotHardly]

4. Sure... and I always trust everything from Barr, the Justice Dept and FBI now...LMFAO

(laughing my fat ass off)... sure sure, I just believe everything they all say now 'cause they so good about being forthright...LOL.

5. I thought Isis was all the rage now and we defeated

Al Qaeda, or at least weren't so worried about them any more.

We create enemies so fast and have so many of them due to our shitty, xenophobic, holier than thou foreign policy, that I cannot keep up any more.

[Mr.Bill]

8. Haven't you heard?

We also defeated Isis. In Syria months ago. I know it's true because Trump said we did.

[Jamastiene]

14. Until he needs to trot them back out

as another boogeyman to wag the dog. Trump gets more and more full of shit as time goes along. That man needs an enema.

[Mr.Bill]

17. If you gave the repulican party an enema

Trump is what would come out.

[truthisfreedom]

6. Ain't it lovely to have such a trustworthy government?

Who trusts government now?

[wiggs]

7. One of the many tragedies of this WH...we can't take anything that comes from it at face value. nt

[Mr.Bill]

9. I trust government.

I just don't trust it's current leadership. That will be fixed next January.

[samsingh]

10. I don't believe anything barr says. This could be a manufactured distraction

[kacekwl]

11. Trump using Barr to embarrass

Tim 🍎Apple.

[EX500rider]

12. Those who don't believe this report...what excatly do you think motivated this killer? nt

[Ford_Prefect]

13. The particulars of his motivation aren't under debate. The claim made by Barr is.

We have very good reasons to doubt that anything Barr says is what it seems to be and has no political motivation. Trump serves the Saudis and so do his minions. We have more cause to suspect propaganda from Barr than we do meaningful, legal and accurate detail.

The investigating officers have more to say on accuracy and evidence than Barr does.

[EX500rider]

19. Somehow i doubt accusing a Saudi AirForce officer of ties to ISIL is pleasing to Saudi. nt

[Devil Child]

16. Don't expect a logical answer to this one n/t

[roamer65]

15. I highly doubt it.

Barr is a liar.
