    Oct 15, 2014 - Abdulaziz Fahad Abdulaziz Alrashid, 24, the alleged shooter who ... campaign of air strikes against jihadists of the Islamic State group in Syria. The gunman suspected of killing an American in Saudi Arabia’s capital had no known links to “extremist” organisations, the interior ministry said, as Washington sought clarification about the killer’s motive.

    Abdulaziz Fahad Abdulaziz Alrashid, 24, the alleged shooter who authorities say was wounded in a gunfight with security forces, is a US-born Saudi who had been fired from US defence contractor Vinnell Arabia, an interior ministry spokesman said in a statement late Tuesday.

    The dead American and another US national who was wounded also worked for Vinnell Arabia, which trains the Saudi Arabian National Guard, the spokesman said.

    “The security services have no proof that [the killer] had prior links with extremist organisations,” he said in a statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency.
