WASHINGTON (AP) — Military students from Saudi Arabia are resuming flight training at U.S. bases, nearly three months after a Saudi trainee shot and killed three U.S. Navy sailors at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida.
The U.S. Navy says flight training for the Saudi students resumed Tuesday. The training for about 850 Saudis at multiple U.S. bases was suspended Dec. 10, four days after the deadly shooting.
Operational training such as flying and other non-classroom instruction was allowed to restart once additional safety restrictions were put in place.
