There is new information on the horrific terror attack in Orlando last night that has killed at least 50 and wounded more than 100 in the largest mass shooting in American history.
Sources are telling the Daily Beast that suspected killer Omar Mateen had previously been investigated by the FBI in 2013 and 2014, making this yet another "known wolf" terror attack:
Omar Mateen of Port Saint Lucie, Florida, came to the attention of federal authorities twice prior to being identified as the gunman in the Orlando nightclub mass shooting, a senior law enforcement source told The Daily Beast.
Mateen 53 people and shot more than 100 in total at the Pulse gay nightclub early Sunday morning, in the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history.
The senior law enforcement source reports that Mateen became a person of interest in 2013 and again in 2014. The Federal Bureau of Investigation at one point opened an investigation into Mateen but subsequently closed the case when it produced nothing that appeared to warrant further investigation.
Hes a known quantity, the source said. Hes been on the radar before.
Mateen was a U.S. citizen; his parents are from Afghanistan, CBS News reports.
The FBI is already circling the wagons that Marteen was just "one of hundreds" of ISIS sympathizers known to the FBI:
CNN: Shooter known to FBI. No indication he was plotting attack. One of hundreds suspected of being ISIS sympathizers on the FBI's radar.

This is not the first time that the gay community has been targeted by would-be jihadists.
In fact, an imam speaking in Orlando in April said that killing gays according to Islamic law should be done "out of compassion":
On Twitter I've noted two previous cases from 2014 in which Islamic terrorists, Musab Masmari and Ali Muhammad Brown, targeted the gay community:

Islamic Center of Central Florida imam Muhammad Musri spoke at the FBI press conference this morning.

As I reported back in 2010, Musri hosted a Hamas fundraiser in his Orlando mosque:
Then in 2011, Musri blamed the 9/11 attacks on the U.S.:

Will the Orlando terror attack finally be the wake-up call for Congress and the Obama administration to address the "known wolf" terror problem?
Don't hold your breath.
Uh, oh. Is it considered Islamophobic to point it out? Grab the popcorn.
Obama could order all suspected ISIS sympathizers rounded up TODAY.
He won’t.
Too busy importing a hundred more a day into the USA.
I looked for the text of Obama’s speech at 1:30 today. Did he tell us not to develop Islamophobia or jump to conclusions? I’ll bet he said that religion played no role in the attack. Anybody see his speech? Did he blame the shooting on the availability of guns?
Last Saturday, 4 June, was Gay Day at Disney World.
I suspect there would have been more homosexuals in a homosexual bar in Orlando on that night.
If this was an attack because he saw homosexuals kissing in Miami, then why did he attack in Orlando a week after the biggest homosexual event in Orlando?
Muslims in general and Afghans in particular have famously idiosynchratic views on relations between men and boys so this kind of violent prudery strikes me as odd.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Sure, like putting down a horse with a broken leg. Islam is nothing if not compassionate.
An FBI agent said it takes TWENTY men to fully monitor ONE suspicious person.
So I figure they need AT LEAST 4 million agents. Anyone know the current number?
This is insanity. And it will be forgotten, like San Bernadino, the Texas shootings (that went in our favor), 9/11 for all effects and purposes, Fort Hood, that shooting at the army base last year, and on and on and on
He said Love Gays....and nothing else.
This is what Islam is all about. Their so-called “prophet” was a murderer and a rapist. ISIS is just doing what he did. They are the “true” Muslims. “By their fruits you will know them”.
bttt
I don’t think the news media is going to appreciate that statement. It wouldn’t surprise me if over half the population of our current media was already quite familiar with each and every glory-hole in the bathroom stalls of that faggot nightclub.
UNTIL WE KNOCK OFF THE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS CRAP AND DEAL WITH THE MUSLIM THING, HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS MORE OF US WILL DIE!!!
Well maybe the esteemed scholar presidunce odumbo might have second thoughts naming ‘gay pride month’ in pandering to his buds in chaps in the same month as his second best buds the muzzies celebrate their holy month of ramadanadingdong. But I doubt him or his ghey cabinet or hiz close muzzie brudderhood advisors at the DHS thought to point out a possible conflict. Then to top it off the dead idiot was a deocrat that in all probability voted for the wun.
I can’t understand for the life of me why Congress is not stopping this mass immigration of all these Muslims. Where are they?? Obama needs to be removed from office immediatly for doing this.
“Omar Mateen had previously been investigated by the FBI”
Not very well, apparently.
Class action lawsuit against the Federal Government/FBI for failure to exercise due diligence and uphold their contract with America called the Constitution.
Our federal Government is getting us killed!
Congress is scared of CAIR and the press.
Gutless cowards, don’t care about protecting the American people.
“In fact, an imam speaking in Orlando in April said that killing gays according to Islamic law should be done “out of compassion””
Liberals: “So, do we agree with this guy if we want to support liberalism, or do we vilify this guy?”
When your radical leftist groups get together and go after each other, what is a compassionate liberal to do?
Probably applaud the Muslims for their individuality and soothe the gays for their unfortunate, but required, loss.
After all, Muslims will be Muslims.
I agree.
They don’t see gay sex as gay sex when they do it, because their “hearts aren’t in it” (they are merely relieving themselves without breaking marriage vows).
Same thing when they have animal sex.
