JIHAD DEVILS LURK ON OUR MILITARY BASES!
Terrorist sleeper cell helped Pensacola killer
AMERICA’S military brass is hiding a chilling secret: The nation’s armed forces have been infiltrated by terrorist sleeper cells, and the recent bloodbath at a Florida naval base is just the opening salvo in a wave of horrific attacks, worried intelligence sources tell GLOBE.
In a stunning revelation, intelligence experts reveal the Pentagon has dropped the ball on background checks allowing Muslim radicals, including Saudi Arabian shooter Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, to crawl through a loophole that allows foreign troops to train on U.S. bases.
On Dec. 6, U.S. Naval Academy grad Joshua Watson, 23, Airman Mohammed Haitham, 19, and Airman Apprentice Cameron Walters, 21, paid the ultimate price for the Pentagon’s failure when Royal Saudi Air Force flight trainee Alshamrani used a handgun to open fire inside a classroom at the Pensacola Naval Air Station.
Eight others were wounded in the terrorist rampage.
Intelligence analysts tell GLOBE Alshamrani didn’t act alone — despite official government proclamations saying he did not have help!
But 300 other members of the Royal Saudi Air Force training at three Florida military installations have been grounded and restricted to base in the wake of the terror attack.
Terrorism expert Ryan Mauro says the Alshamrani situation is not unique — jihadists have many other radicals stationed at our military bases ready to attack!
“After we beat them [ISIS/ al-Qaeda] with overwhelming military force, instead of getting discouraged, they say, ‘There is still hope — we are going to beat these infidels because they are dumb,’” Mauro charges.
Turncoat Alshamrani, 21, a Royal Saudi Air Force second lieutenant, was one of more than 5,000 foreign military students from 153 countries who participate in a Department of Defense sponsored program called Naval Education and Training Security Assistance Field Activity.
“I’m sure some of the [Middle East] countries have jihadists in there,” Mauro notes. “But it’s not just Arab countries. You can have the French military students come over and have a radicalized person in there.” Alshamrani, who entered the program in 2017 with an expected 2020 graduation, began acting differently in February after a trip back home, investigators say.
He started ranting against the United States on social media, tweeting: “America as a whole has turned into a nation of evil. I hate you because every day you are supporting, funding and committing crimes not only against Muslims but also humanity.
“What I see from America is supporting Israel which is the invasion of Muslim countrie[s]. You will not be safe until American troops get out of our lands.”
Before his rampage, Alshamrani, one of 200 foreigners at
the Pensacola base, watched a mass-shooting video with fellow Saudi classmates at a dinner party and bragged a “friend” had filmed the mayhem.
In his attack, Alshamrani blasted away inside a flight training classroom, fatally plugging Joshua, Mohammed, and Cameron before being killed by sheriff’s deputies.
The FBI is calling the bloodbath an act of terrorism, and being humiliated in front of his classmates by an instructor, who nicknamed Alshamrani “Porn Stash”
— a reference to his ’70s style mustache — was the final straw.
This is not the first time a jihadist has mounted an attack on an American military installation.
A similar shooting spree came in 2009 when Maj. Nidal Hasan, a radicalized Army shrink, killed 13 and injured 30 unarmed civilians and soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas.
Before his massacre, Hasan, who was sentenced to death, expressed anti-American views and exchanged emails with al-Qaeda recruiter Anwar al-Awlaki.
Mauro predicts more insider attacks against military installations. Intelligence experts also note that 9-11 mastermind Osama bin Laden and members of the terror team were born and raised in Saudi Arabia.
“If they are part of the military in another country and come here to train and cooperate, it is very conceivable that extremists can attack,” Mauro says.
Fumes Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis: “You have foreign military personnel coming to our bases. They should not be doing that if they hate our country!”
