Islamic State Newsletter Claims Vegas Shooter Was ‘Solider of the Caliphate’

The latest issue of the Islamic State’s weekly newsletter Nabareportedly includes another claim of responsibility for the Las Vegas shooting, this time with more details of how shooter Stephen Paddock supposedly converted to Islam and became a “soldier of the caliphate.”

The Islamic State made its first claim of responsibility through its news agency, Amaq, on Monday. “The Las Vegas attacker is a soldier of the Islamic State in response to calls to target coalition countries. The Las Vegas attacker converted to Islam a few months ago,” the dispatch from Amaq stated. A similar message with slightly different wording was broadcast soon afterward by Amaq.

A longer official statement from the Islamic State was then posted by another ISIS-linked news service, Nashir News, using a channel on the encrypted Telegram messaging service:

Guy made 9 trips to the middle-east on cruises, has a girlfriend from a country that recruits terrorists, wired loads of money out of the country to several offshore accounts, but FBI says, no connection to ISIS.
This is the same FBI that said Hillary was not a criminal!
They wouldn't know a real criminal or terrorist if it blew himself up in front of them!
FBI stands for Federal Bureaucratic Incompetence.

And you know this how? lmao

Is that what Alex told ya? lol

The shooter did have help though. Ten suitcases helped him conceal and carry 20 odd weapons up to his room. And judging from our hsitory we will have more attacks, just not from this guy.

He had the classic MO of a sleeper cell; waiting, planning, conducting surveillance and plotting the execution of his attack. I think our government is working hard to present "evidence" that we were not attacked by ISIS. Seems they are having a rough time contradicting the ISIS claim.
