In a non-COVID world, the biggest news right now would be that Al Qaeda was involved in the first foreign-planned terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11.
1/ Heres what we know and why we need to be demanding accountability from the Trump Administration.
2/ Last Dec. 6th, Saeed Alshamrani, a Saudi Air Force cadet, killed 3 and injured 8 at a military base in Florida.
He had been in contact w AQAP, the Al Qaeda wing based in Yemen, since 2015, including the night before the attack.
AQAP says it directed the attack.
3/ He joined the Saudi military specifically to carry out an an attack on the United States. He spent years planning the attack.
And the FBI found over a dozen other Saudi trainees at the same base with jihadist and anti-U.S. material on their computers.
