Al-Qaida in the Arab Peninsula (AQAP) claimed responsibility Sunday for an attack on a U.S. Naval Base which left three soldiers dead in December, the Site intelligence group reported.

"Alshamrani carried out his martyrdom operation on one of the dens of evil...the US Naval Air Station Pensacola," the group's leader said in a video message posted Sunday, referring to Mohammed Alshamrani, a 21-year-old second lieutenant in the Royal Saudi Air Force training at Naval Air Station Pensacola who carried out the attack late last year. https://www.voanews.com/usa/report-al-qaida-branch-claims-december-us-naval-base-shooting
