DOJ Fights to Block Release of NAS Pensacola Attack Documents

Pensacola, FL (Newsradio 92.3) -- The Department of Justice is asking a federal judge to throw out a subpoena demanding classified documents tied to the twenty-nineteen NAS Pensacola terror attack. Attorneys for the victims' families are suing the Saudi government, claiming it knew gunman Mohammed Al-Shamrani was radicalized before he came to Pensacola for flight training. Al-Shamrani killed three U-S sailors — Joshua Kaleb Watson, Mohammed Haitham, and Cameron Walters — and wounded eight others. The D-O-J says the requested documents are classified and sensitive to ongoing law enforcement investigations.
