(IPT) Social media posts by Corpus Christi naval air station shooter Adam Alsahli indicate he supported key figures linked to the Muslim Brotherhood and attended a school in Saudi Arabia that has a decades-long link with Al-Qaida figures.
Alsahli opened fire at the air station’s North Gate May 21. A guard was shot, but survived with minor injuries thanks to the bulletproof vest she was wearing. Guards returned fire, killing Alsahli.
Alsahli publicly declared his support for al-Qaida last November.
This marks the second attack by an al-Qaida-linked figure against a U.S. naval installation on U.S. soil since December. Saudi Air Force 2nd Lt. Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani went on a shooting rampage at Naval Air Station Pensacola, where he was attending a program, killing three U.S. sailors. Alshamrani had repeatedly communicated with al-Qaida operatives, FBI officials revealed earlier this month.
