Military Training Students

Fourteen-year-old Russian schoolboy David learned something new this month: firing accurately with a Kalashnikov is trickier than with a pistol.

The Pentagon said Thursday it had conducted background checks on all Saudi military personnel currently training in the United States and found no "immediate threat scenario," two weeks after a deadly shooting rampage by a Saudi air force officer.

Ghulam Mustafa Bashir, a 29-year-old Navy Marine, and Minhal Sohail, a 21-year-old university student, will both compete in shooting events at the Rio Games.

The U.S. government is still searching for two Afghan aircraft maintenance students who went missing this week while receiving training at a U.S. Air Force base in Georgia, and will revoke the men's visas, officials said on Friday.

North Korea's newest batch of future soldiers - scrawny 11-year-olds with freshly shaved heads - punch the air as they practice taekwondo on the grounds of the Mangyongdae Revolutionary School. Students and teachers here say they're studying harder these days to prepare for a fight.
