Source: Reuters
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.

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.

(7,817 posts)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.
