Orlando Shooter Said He Wanted U.S. To Stop Bombing IS In Iraq
[Iraq Sun] The Orlando gunman who killed 49 people at a gay nightclub described himself in phone calls with authorities as "an Islamic soldier," and demanded that the United States stop bombing Syria and Iraq.The U.S. air strike campaign against the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... and its leader His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us... , to whom gunman Omar Mateen pledged allegiance during the calls, was the reason Mateen gave for shooting people at the nightclub, according to transcripts of the calls released by the FBI on June 20. The heavily redacted transcripts provided details about the assailant's professed Islamist motives. Republican congressmen said that the redacted parts also showed he was motivated to kill gays. The FBI has said that while Mateen, whose family was from Afghanistan, derived inspiration from IS online, it has no evidence that the bad boy group funded or organized his June 12 attack. Mateen also warned during the incident that he would set off boom-mobiles and boom jackets attached to hostages to cause even more mass carnage like that seen in the IS-inspired Gay Paree attacks in November. Those proved to be empty threats, though they prompted police to end the negotiation, move in and kill him. Posted by: Fred 2016-06-22 |
