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.

Not buying it, this was a radial ANTIFA leftist hit on Trump voters. Mark my words.
Not surprised. Skeptical.
And who told them this? Oh yeah - ISIS. SMH
Is the woman he was with a Muslim?
Pinging the End Times ping list
“Las Vegas attacker converted to Islam a few months ago”: Islamic State claims responsibility for attack
I don’t believe this was isis.
I don’t believe this. I think he was a leftist who was filled with hate
Dittoes on skeptical.
Needs further confirmation.
[[Not buying it, this was a radial ANTIFA leftist hit on Trump voters. Mark my words.]]
A lot of ANTIFA are muslims.
If you look around so will see that their stuff is also printed in Arabic
No way. Antifa are street thug morons, incapable of such a meticulously planned attack
Don’t believe this without confirmation. The guy does NOT look like a potential convert to Islam. He looks more like a Jimmy Buffett “Parrot Head” - a boozer and frequent Vegas visitor. Possibly just a short-fused loser mad about the breakup with the girlfriend.
Then they should be able to present evidence. Remember that ISIS does not see it as accepting guilt. They see it as bragging their success.
Gambling debts was motivation. Just a guess - like everyone else...
Someone posted online that perhaps the terrorists invaded this guy’s hotel room, killed him, then did the shootings themselves. Who knows. Maybe the Indonesian girlfriend set him up. I don’t know.
Where’s the proof?
Anytime an ‘infidel’ is murdered, ISIS claims the killer as their own.
Not buying this until some sort of evidence surfaces.
“meticulously planned attack”
um.. what is meticulous about renting a hotel room above a large open air concert venue and and shooting at the assembled 20,000+ people.
Heck, even a moron could get a his hands on a full auto conversion kit or 3d print one from a simple download off the net.
I’m new to this story. I just woke up. What happened to the shooter? Is he in custody, dead? Did he jump out the window? What is the broken window with the curtains waving in the wind in the skyscraper? The news says nothing about what is going on with the shooter?
Folks I think we should follow the 24-hour rule here. All reports within the first 24 hours of incidents like this should be greeted with great skepticism. We’ll learn soon enough.
I don't believe this at all. ISIS will take credit for anything.
