Pensacola lawsuit seeking to hold Saudi Arabia accountable for deadly terrorist attack should be tossed, U.S. magistrate says
By Dan Christensen, FloridaBulldog.org
The families of three murdered U.S. Navy servicemen and eight others wounded when a Saudi Air Force officer with “significant ties to al-Qaeda” opened fire at Naval Air Station Pensacola in 2019 cannot sue the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for damages, a federal magistrate ruled Thursday.
Magistrate Zachary Bolitho explained his decision in a 64-page report and recommendation to Pensacola U.S. District Judge Margaret Rodgers, who will now make the final call on whether to grant Saudi Arabia’s motion to dismiss the case against it.
