AIRO (Reuters) - 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 U.S.-led coalition fighting the group in the Middle East.
“The Las Vegas attacker converted to Islam a few months ago,” Amaq added.

FBI investigators say they have found no links between the Las Vegas massacre and international terrorist groups after Isis claimed responsibility for the deadliest mass shooting in American history.
In a brief statement, FBI special agent Aaron Rouse said the bureau had “determined to this point no connection of an international terrorist group”.
At least 58 people were killed and more than 500 injured after Stephen Paddock fired into a crowd of concert-goers late on Sunday.

Isis claims responsibility for deadliest shooting in US history
Isis claimed “soldier of the Islamic State” was behind the killing.
But Mr Rouse, a former counter-intelligence chief, who is the lead agent in charge of the Las Vegas district, appeared to dismiss this claim, saying there was no evidence of any link to the Islamist group.
He added: “As this investigation continues we will continue to work with our partners to ensure that this is factually, thoroughly and absolutely investigated to be able to bring comfort and peace back to this community.”

Problem is if I were FBI chief would it be prudent to come out immediately and claim there are no terror attacks when hardly any investigation has been done?Curious at best.
Once again who is in charge of the FBI?
Someone reading this thread? Rush’s first caller asks how does the FBI know there is no terror connection without even investigating?
Good question....
