Pensacola Attack: US to review screening of foreign military.

US Defence Secretary Mark Esper has ordered a review of the screening process for foreign military in the US after a Saudi soldier launched a deadly attack at a Florida navy base.

A Saudi gunman who trained at the site killed three soldiers after going on a deadly shooting rampage.

Several Saudis trainees have been detained as a result of investigations, as it was reported that several students waited outside and filmed while the shooting was occurring. 

Speaking to Fox News Sunday, Mr Esper confirmed reports that one or two of the detained Saudis filmed the attack. "What is unclear is - were they filming it before it began or was it something where they picked up their phones once they saw it unfolding?" he said.
