Was the Las Vegas attack done by an ISIS Muslim terrorist ?

I do not see what it would change. ISIS does not send anybody, they recruit locally through Internet.: quite all ISIS terrorists in France were French, the ones in UK British, etc.

Vanny this man did not travel at all, he was a local. This makes no sense.

I haven't read much on the updates of this man though I do recall reading that the FBI rules out any ISIS links, but hmmmm, some things you just can't rule out completely, right? Hard to believe this one guy could make such preparations and had all those weapons.

Still difficult to tell, the FBI has not released its conclusions yet. I can hardly believe that a man alone has been able to organize that, but I do not want to enter in a plot theory about this, and I will trust the FBI.

@topffer From what I am hearing on the news now it was extremely well organized. It seems like he must have gotten someone to help with the planning? Will just have to wait for the FBI conclusions as they search for facts.

First thing is, not only refugee, but even locals cannot be trusted. IS is recruiting everywhere. Even in India Hindus, Christian, even Buddhists are recruited first and converted later. IS use 'love jihad' as major operation.

Refugees fleeing ISIS are not a threat at all, as long as they are screened enough to be sure that they are not ISIS fighters. The searcher said this morning that their way of recruiting was "baroque". It is true : a part of the people they have recruited in France were Christians that they converted, so it is difficult to tell if their claim is true or not.

@yugocean Make a count yourself and tell me how many refugees have done a terrorist attack, anywhere in the world ? It is a bias : Muslim refugees who fled because of ISIS are the best people to dissuade other Muslims to join.

@topffer this isn't a valid point now, althrough I agree situation in Europe is different. But truth is that not even ISIS but also other hardcore criminals and terrorists are entering as refugee in different countries. Once they are out of order, nobody will be safe. They enter as refugee, and convert people , this says so much.

I can agree with the point that Islamic State has never claimed an attack which they did not sponsor. ALthough, I still want to wait for the investigations to be over.

ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack but so far this has been disputed by authorities. They continue to say that the shooter is a lone wolf but they are unsure of his motives.

The FBI had the same attitude when they started to investigate on the San Bernardino and Orlando attacks and disputed that they were related to terrorism. We have to wait for their conclusions.

It is a credible option, we will have to wait the end of the investigations to know more.

It is impossible to completely eradicate terror groups. ISIS has no agenda except rule through terror and violence. However, they would take credit even if the gunman is not one of their own because they are losing power and grip on territories .

@kiran8 I read that. Nothing impossible, but I am not convinced. I think that they would lose their credibility if it was proven that they claimed an attack having nothing to do with them, and they know it.

They might claim responsibility for the attack but it's less likely to be an IS act.

They said the same when they started to investigate on the Orlando and San Bernardino attacks. I just wanted to share the opinion of a specialist of ISIS terrorism, who thinks that the claim is credible.

I was away from my laptop for a while, and it seems as I missed out quite a lot of news, especially this. Strange that a wealthy US citizen suddenly decided to sympathise with some fanatics' cause, and chose to bring others with him to the other world like this.

I do not know if the investigations about his motives have progressed. He is certainly not the typical Muslim terrorist, but I think this hypothesis cannot be excluded.

@YrNemo I read that he sent $100000 to the Philippines the week before. That she was in a foreign country when it happened does not prove that she was not aware of anything. If I was an US policeman, I would adopt the same attitude than them and would tell that she was not involved... to encourage her to come back in order to be questioned.
