Full tittle : “Las Vegas attacker converted to Islam a few months ago”: Islamic State claims responsibility for attack
"The Las Vegas attack was carried out by a soldier of the Islamic State and he carried it out in response to calls to target states of the coalition. The Las Vegas attacker converted to Islam a few months ago.”
“Las Vegas Shootout Live: 50 Killed, ISIS Claims Responsibility,” The Quint, October 2, 2017 (thanks to Yaakov):
An active shooter fired at an outdoor concert crowd in Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Casino area. At least 50 people died and 400 were injured in the shooting, that was later claimed by ISIS. The roads leading to the Vegas strip were shut by the police. The gunman was shot down at the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel. The Nevada sheriff identified Stephen Paddock as the suspected gunman in Las Vegas shootout.
Islamic State has claimed responsibility for a shooting that killed at least 50 people and wounded over 400 in Las Vegas early on Monday, and said the attacker had converted to Islam a few months ago.
“The Las Vegas attack was carried out by a soldier of the Islamic State and he carried it out in response to calls to target states of the coalition,” the group’s news agency Amaq said in reference to the US-led coalition fighting the group in the Middle East.

Would be stunning if Paddock’s weapons were part of the Fast and Furious cache.
Who would go to all the trouble to disprove ISIS' wild assed claims? What would be the point of refuting a bunch of lunatic savages anyway?
Intelligent people ignore most everything they say.
It looks like he had two side by side rooms.
my point.
is... why try to make this maniac out of be some type of mad genius when anyone can rent a hotel room from their computer and swing by the local gun store or buy 10 weapons off of craigslist.
To me we shouldn’t be glamorizing these nuts in any way.
Yes, let us know he planned the attack ahead of time, but don’t make him look like a genius in the process. The guy could have gotten a eighteen wheeler and drove into the same crowd and killed even more people, like that nut in Europe.
you’re kidding, right? he had platforms set up, cameras set up so he could watch the hallways to see when police were coming. that room had to be rented for at least a few months because of the music festival that was happening.
What would traveling to Dubai be indicative of other than enjoying the good life?
I've been to Dubai countless times. Most of the people who live there are the imported labor force. Tourists come from all over the world. It's not Saudi Arabia.
So you plan a mass murder of innocent concert goers and not hotel management or their employees? makes no sense.
it’s Vegas something big is always happening.
I saw a reporter who had been in Vegas for days covering OJ’s release who said he had been in town for days and didn’t even know there was a 20,000+ country music concert happening for the last few days until this happened.

Stephen Paddock a 64 yr old male was the gunman in question at the Las-Vegas attack. He was a democrat and very anti Trump and I think the MSM pushed this guys buttons too far with their fake news and created this monster.
Have my doubts. If he was a “soldier of the prophet,” why did he engage in high-stakes gambling in the Vegas casinos during the weeks leading up to this morning’s rampage—and supposedly after his conversion?
Then again, Khalid Sheik Mohammend, the 9-11 mastermind, spent lots of time in strip clubs, and so did some of the hijackers who carried out the attacks.
Too old. 64. Was an accountant.
I’m thinking a guy who went crazy or was just a mean, hateful sob.
Doesn’t matter what a reporter did or didn’t know clearly this guy knew and my point is that usually with such a large concert festival hotel rooms are booked and sold in advance at the actual venue, so it was planned ahead and was methodical. You made it seem like this could have been something not well thought out and any dope could pull off with little to no planning, in your response to someone who doubted it was Antifa due to the planning involved.
Now, it still could be someone radicalized and a political motive but it was planned out for awhile.
Most of the ANTIFA I’ve seen are the anarchist/communist revolutionary types. Ironic as fascism is required to maintain communism.
They just want to take down the USA, they’re literally traitors.
I agree he was most certainly a “mean hateful SOB” but he most ALSO most likely a mean hateful “LEFTEST” “TRUMP HATING” sob. Thus why he attacked a country music concert.
She went to “visit relatives.”
Alex Jones has said that they are coming in October...it’s October 2nd, folks.
I don’t buy this. Looks like he was just an evil nutcase.
85% of the population of Dubai are foreigners imported so that the 15% who are citizens can enjoy a life of leisure. There are armies of Asian women working in the various service and housekeeping industries.
