A man who says he was Omar Mateen's lover has claimed the mass murderer acted out of revenge after finding out one of his partners was HIV positive.
Mateen, 29, shot dead 49 people at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Florida, on June 12 in America's worst mass shooting.
In an interview with Spanish-language television network Univision the man, who was identified only by the name Miguel, claimed he and Mateen were "friends with benefits".
He said their relationship started after they met on a gay dating website and lasted two months until December, during which time they met between 15 and 20 times at a hotel in Orlando.
Although Mateen pledged allegiance to Isil at the time of the attack, Miguel claimed that was not his motivation.
He said: "I’ve cried like you have no idea. But the thing that makes me want to tell the truth is that he didn’t do it for terrorism. In my opinion he did it for revenge."
He claimed Mateen had sex with two Puerto Rican men, one of whom he later discovered was HIV positive, and that he became "terrified".
The man said: "He hated gay Puerto Ricans for all the stuff they did to him. I believe this crazy horrible thing he did was for revenge.
"When I asked him what he was going to do now his answer was: 'I’m going to make them pay for what they did to me'."
The man wore a disguise and his voice was altered for the high profile interview with Univision.
The interview was conducted by Univision anchor Maria Elena Salinas, who has been described by the New York Times as the "voice of Hispanic America".
Univision said it had confirmed with the FBI that they were speaking to "Miguel".

Sure.
I’ve had so little sleep lately.. I read that as homosexualzombies.
If he thought he had HIV, and was going to die a shameful death, he could regain face among his people on earth, and assure of himself of a place in paradise by going there as a killer-martyr.
So it the fault of Islam after all, and it is the fault of recklessly promiscuous homosexuals, for putting him in such terrified, shamed and vengeful straits.
Spin it right back at them.
As I have said before - how much is he being paid and who is the one paying him?
MUTEEN, THE MUTANT, WAS A RADICAL MUSLIM WHO WAS FIGHTING HIS PERSONAL JIHAD.
You can bet if this is true it will not be covered by the Press in America.
Well, either that, or because he's a Maniacal Murdering Moslum.
correct, either way whacko Islam is responsible.
Revenge... as only a Moose can.
So now if this is true—does that mean that the “rainbow” flag will be banned?
Hell fire is better than piss
