1- This is strange. ISIS just claimed Las Vegas attack. Arabic statement says shooter converted to Islam months ago. @jenanmoussa pic.twitter.com/LjJUcwB7Hy— Jenan Moussa (@jenanmoussa) October 2, 2017
2- I can confirm that the ISIS statement appeared on ISIS affiliated Amaq news agency. No evidence to back up claim. @akhbar— Jenan Moussa (@jenanmoussa) October 2, 2017
3- Contrary to public belief, ISIS does NOT claim every incident. Amaq claim on Las Vegas shooting should not be automatically dismissed.— Jenan Moussa (@jenanmoussa) October 2, 2017
4- Amaq by now has 2 Arabic statements. They also refer to the Las Vegas shooter as a "soldier of Islamic State." @akhbar pic.twitter.com/PfWQ0MhesJ— Jenan Moussa (@jenanmoussa) October 2, 2017
5- ISIS statements also appear on Nashir, a telegram account affiliated with ISIS. The news is of course spreading on many ISIS accounts.— Jenan Moussa (@jenanmoussa) October 2, 2017
ISIS often claims responsibility for attacks without proof or evidence. It should be noted U.S. authorities have denied throughout the morning this was an act of terror. As the facts come in, things can change.

The suspect, who killed himself upon police arrival, is 64-year-old Stephen Paddock. He carried out the attack from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel. He was in the hotel for days, watching as innocent people came and went to the Route 91 Harvest Festival. Last night during Jason Aldean's closing song, he reigned down a barrage of bullets on 22,000 people after shooting out the windows in his room.

We'll bring you more as we get it.
It’s a sad day when I believe ISIS over our own government.
s/b bullets rained down.
The authorities will not admit it was Islam even if it was.
Islam is a religion of peace, you know........
Patiently waiting for “the rest of the story”.
I don't know what to believe at this point. All I know is that this was a despicable act of pure evil.
No he was an Obama/Hillary/Bernie supporter ,so get stuffed ISIS
Now the question remains: Did someone hear him shout Aluha Akbar?
Im sure the muzzie bastards are quite happy to see infidels die... probably more so to see other infidels doing it.
they had zero to do with this...
an old white guy living in NV converts to islame?? yeah, i totally buy that...
Looking like it can go two ways. MSM is all gun control now, so they know it was not a white supremacist.
His Indonesian ‘housemate’......I want to know more about her
I can’t believe they have exonerated the girlfriend simply because she’s out of the country when the attack happened.
Last night on a blog, i read elsewhere that somebody found on girlfriends facebook page she had recently traveled to Dubai. I just assumed fake news, but can anybody confirm. ?
Political correctness has caused many deaths, and will continue to...
I don’t. Isis is opportunistic. This is the largest mass shooting in US history. Of course they’d claim it.
I see no good reason for a family to be ignorant of their brother’s conversion to Islam and I see no reason for a 64 year old to convert to Islam. I could be wrong of course, but I want some proof from Isis first
Here is what we do know.
He checked into room on the 28th using her ID. It stands to reason the room was reserved in her name.
If she is the woman in the pic of him, very good looking and possibly an ISIS agent so to speak.
It is not known if shooter could have had a terminal illness but if he did, I could see how she could have influenced him to do this act.
So he may not have been a convert to islam but could have been coerced into doing the agent a “favor” especially if she did him “favors”.
If this claim can be verified. The sharia codex should be cited and confronted as; It is written and believed God has authorized this atrocity .
Same here!
“Waiting for the other shoe to drop!”
I am sure the detectives will be doing a thorough search in the room he was staying in for any evidence that he did convert to Islam. Or perhaps the house he lived in about 30 miles from Las Vegas
I have a screen shot of antifa melbourne claiming it was one of their comrades. I would post it but I’m too ignorant.
