Feds: Omar Mateen showed few signs of Islamic radicalization

FILE -- This undated file image shows Omar Mateen, who authorities say killed dozens of people inside the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Fla., on Sunday, June 12, 2016. U.S. authorities say Omar Mateen, the man who carried out the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history, had touted support not just for the Islamic State but also other radical factions that are enemies of the Sunni militant group. He not only professed allegiance to IS but also expressed solidarity with a suicide bomber from the Syrian branch of al-Qaida, which is known as the Nusra Front and which is Islamic State’s top rival.

WASHINGTON — Federal investigators digging deep into the life of Omar Mateen, perhaps, have a few interesting claims to make about the life of the Orlando massacre.  According to FBI investigators,  Mateen, although previously having exhibited extreme signs of terrorism on Facebook “showed few signs of such” in the eyes of the FBI.

How, one might come to that conclusion is beyond civilian comprehension.  Considering, these snippets from Mateen ‘s 911 phone calls.

“In the name of God the Merciful, the beneficial [in Arabic] … Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God [in Arabic]. I let you know, I’m in Orlando and I did the shootings.” 

Alright, where are you at?” the operator asks, to which Mateen simply stated, “In Orlando,” and then hung up.
