The FBI on Monday said it has found “no connection” between a mass shooting in Las Vegas that left more than 50 people dead and hundreds injured, the worst such massacre in U.S. history, and international terrorism.

“We have determined to this point no connection with an international terrorist group,” FBI Las Vegas Division Director Aaron Rouse told reporters. “As this investigation continues, we will continue to work with our partners to ensure that this is factually, thoroughly and absolutely investigated.”

The Islamic State on Monday claimed responsibility for the shooting without offering any evidence to support its claim.

    There was no connection with international terrorism in the Gay Club shooting in Orlando either, but the shooter being muslim, so that makes liable to be remote operated by ISIS or Al-Qaeda

  4. RW media is already promoting this guy as a recently converted Muslim based on that statement from ISIS. I believe ISIS deliberately engaged in propaganda to boost its sagging fortunes and may have had a little juice from Moscow to do it.
