Orlando Muslim Terrorist, Interviewed By FBI Three Times, Linked To Domestic Suicide Bomber




[From article]
The dead Orlando terrorist who murdered at least 49 people at an Orlando nightclub was investigated by the FBI for terror links twice - and was linked to American suicide bomber Moner Abu Salha.
Agents did not charge Omar Mateen on both occasions and concluded he 'only had minimal contact' with Florida man Abu Salha who blew himself up for the Al Nusra Front in Syria 2014.
Mateen was also investigated by the FBI for making 'inflammatory remarks' to his colleagues alleging that he had terrorist ties – but again no further action was taken.
He kept his job with a global security firm, G4S, and was able to legally buy guns that were used in the worst mass shooting in American history that killed 49 and injured 53 others inside the Orlando gay nightclub.
Mateen called 911 to pledge allegiance to ISIS during the massacre and also praised the Boston bombers.
It is also claimed that Mateen had connections with a former U.S. Marine and undercover FBI agent turned radical Muslim cleric who was released from jail last year despite warnings that he was recruiting potential terrorists.
[. . .]
Marcus Dwayne Robertson, also known as Abu Taubah, managed to convert 36 people to his poisonous version of Islam during his four years in jail, and was considered so dangerous that he was kept shackled with his own security detail away from other inmates.
Mateen was a member of the Timbuktu Seminary, an educational website run by Robertson that police believe is used to dispense his radical teachings, sources told Fox News.
Robertson and several associates were rounded up for questioning early Sunday, sources added.
After serving as a Marine for six years, Robertson went on to become a bank robber, before turning FBI informant after his arrest in exchange for a short prison sentence.
He was dismissed by the FBI in 2007 after allegedly attacking his CIA handler, and then began preaching Islamic extremism.
Thrown in jail for tax fraud back in 2011, prosecutors attempted to have ten years added to his sentence last year after discovering documents preaching terror among his possessions. However, a judge freed him. 
[. . .]
An FBI spokesman said at a press conference later in the day that Mateen purchased multiple guns in the past few days.
The spokesman said that the investigations by the FBI were closed and that's why the 29-year-old gunman was able to purchase the weapons.
The federal agency said Mateen was first interviewed in 2013 after he made 'inflammatory remarks' to a colleague.
'The FBI first became aware of Mateen in 2013 as he made inflammatory comments to coworkers, alleging possible terrorist ties,' Ron Hopper an FBI special agent said during a press conference.
'The FBI thoroughly investigated the matter including interviews of witnesses, physical surveillance and records checks.
'In the course of the investigation, Mateen was interviewed twice.
'Ultimately we were unable to verify the substance of his comments, and the investigation was closed.'
In 2014, Mateen came to the FBI's attention again and agents interviewed him about a potential connection he may have had with American suicide bomber Moner Abu Salha, who lived about 30 minutes away in Vero Beach, Florida.



'We determined that contact was minimal and didn't to constitute a substantive relationship or threat at that that time,' Hopper said.
In addition, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms said that Mateen purchased two weapons legally within the last week.
'He is not a prohibitive person so he can legally walk into a gun dealership,' the representative from the ATF said. 'He did so within the last week or so.'[. . .]
Mateen, a Muslim and father to a three-year-old son, was born in 1986 in New York and married Sitora Alisherzoda Yusufiy, who was born in Uzbekistan, in 2009.
Mateen's father, Seddique Mateen, told NBC News: 'We were in Downtown Miami, Bayside, people were playing music. And he saw two men kissing each other in front of his wife and kid and he got very angry.
'They were kissing each other and touching each other and he said, 'Look at that. In front of my son they are doing that'. And then we were in the men's bathroom and men were kissing each other.'

ISIS killer was linked to American suicide bomber and had been interviewed by the FBI THREE times
WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT
The FBI named Orlando gay club shooter Omar Mateen, 29, a person of interest in 2013 and again in 2014
Investigation was first opened in 2013 when he made 'inflammatory remarks' to colleagues alleging possible terrorist ties
FBI interviewed witnesses, looked at physical surveillance and records checks and also interviewed him twice, but closed investigation
Second investigation was opened to see if he had ties to American suicide bomber Moner Abu Salha, but no links were found and case was closed
Sources say Mateen also used website Timbuktu Seminary, run by radical Islamic cleric Marcus Dwayne Robertson, also known as Abu Taubah
He purchased weapons used in the shooting, which killed 49 people, legally within the last week
FBI says Mateen may have 'leanings to radical Islamic terrorism' and it is being investigated as 'an act of terrorism'
Mateen's father claims the attack has 'nothing to do with religion'
He said his son became angry after seeing two men kiss in public

Suicide Bombing In Ankara, Turkey Kills 95, 248 Wounded



Demonstrators confront riot police following explosions during a peace march in Ankara, Turkey, October 10, 2015.

[From article]
Protesters have clashed with police in Ankara after officers allegedly blocked a road being used by ambulances transporting victims of this morning’s bombing.
Bulent Tekdemir, who was at the rally, told the BBC that police used tear gas shortly after the explosions at 10am and “would not let ambulances through” in the aftermath.
Footage showed lines of riot officers appearing to block a road near the blast site, with ambulances parked in the background.[. . .]
The health ministry put the death toll at 86, with at least 186 people wounded, by Saturday afternoon.
[. . .]
“No matter what its origin, aim or name, we are against any form of terrorist act or terrorist organisation,” he added.
“Like other acts of terror, the attack at Ankara Central Station is taking aim at our unity, brotherhood and future."
Violence between Turkey and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) militants has flared in recent months, with the government launching operations in response to what it said were rising attacks on security forces in the predominantly Kurdish south-east.
The PKK called on its fighters and supporters to stop guerrilla activities in Turkey ahead of elections on 1 November.

Ankara terror attack: Protesters clash with police after ambulances 'blocked' following explosions

Demonstrators flash the V-sign during a rally to protest against the bombing in Ankara earlier, in central Istanbul, Saturday, Oct. 10, 2015. Thousands of protestors flooded the main street in central Istanbul shouting slogans condemning the twin bombings that killed dozens of people in nation{b9}s capital. The two bomb explosions targeted a peace rally, that was aimed to call for an end to the renewed violence between Kurdish rebels and Turkish security forces.

[From article]
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said there were "strong signs" that the two explosions — which struck 50 meters (yards) apart just after 10 a.m. — were suicide bombings. He suggested that Kurdish rebels or Islamic State group militants were to blame.
The two explosions occurred seconds apart outside the capital's main train station as hundreds of opposition supporters and Kurdish activists gathered for the peace rally organized by Turkey's public workers' union and other groups. The protesters planned to call for increased democracy in Turkey and an end to the renewed violence between Kurdish rebels and Turkish security forces.
The attacks Saturday came at a tense time for Turkey, a NATO member that borders war-torn Syria, hosts more refugees than any other nation in the world and has seen renewed fighting with Kurdish rebels that has left hundreds dead in the last few months.
[. . .]
The Turkish government imposed a temporary news blackout covering images that showed the moment of the blasts, gruesome or bloody pictures or "images that create a feeling of panic." A spokesman warned media organizations they could face a "full blackout" if they did not comply.
Many people reported being unable to access Twitter and other social media websites for several hours after the blasts. It was not clear if authorities had blocked access to the websites, but Turkey often does impose blackouts following attacks.
[. . .]
Authorities had been on alert after Turkey agreed to take a more active role in the U.S.-led battle against the Islamic State group. Turkey opened up its bases to U.S. aircraft to launch air raids on the extremist group in Syria and carried out a limited number of strikes on the group itself. Russia has also entered the fray on behalf of the Syrian government recently, bombing sites in Syria and reportedly violating Turkish airspace a few times in the past week.
On a separate front, the fighting between Turkish forces and Kurdish rebels flared anew in July, killing at least 150 police and soldiers and hundreds of PKK rebels since then. Turkish jets have also carried out numerous deadly airstrikes on Kurdish rebel targets in northern Iraq.

ISIS Suicide Bomber Attacks Turkey

[From article]
The Turkish border town of Suruç was the scene of a bloody attack that claimed at least 30 lives and left 100 wounded this morning. Suruç neighbors the famed Kurdish Syrian town of Kobani and, while Ankara has yet to confirm details, the bombing is believed to have been a suicide attack carried out by an 18-year-old female ISIS militant. The target was a gathering of leftist activists planning to cross to Kobani to help rebuild the town destroyed during the months-long ISIS siege last year.
[. . .]



The Suruç bombing also conspicuously follows a series of Turkish police operations aimed at disrupting ISIS networks and activities—operations which only got underway two weeks ago. Indeed, after almost two years without visible state action against ISIS (much to the chagrin of the United States and coalition partners), Turkey arrested 250 suspected militants all over the country. Senior officials say they wanted to bring down whole networks instead of individuals, and it took long-term covert operations to close the net on the former.
Ceren Kenar, a prominent Turkish diplomacy correspondent, recalls a senior official answering her question on why they let pro-ISIS websites operate: “How can we track ISIS sympathizers if we shut down ISIS websites?” Two of such websites were blocked last week, after the arrests.
[. . .]



It’s no secret that Turkey wants the fall of the Assad regime and is supporting a mixture of rebel groups—predominantly Islamist ones—engaged in fighting it.
[. . .]
the fall of Aleppo would not only be a severe blow to its proxies, it would also send waves of refugees into Turkey, adding to the 2 million currently residing here already.

You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet!




[From article]
I’m far more hateful than Pamela Geller. In fact, I’d argue there’s no way that she could hate jihad more than I do. I’ve seen jihad up-close, in an Iraqi province where jihadists raped women to shame them into becoming suicide bombers, where they put bombs in little boys’ backpacks then remotely detonated them at family gatherings, where they beheaded innocent civilians while cheering wildly like they were at a soccer match, and where they shot babies in the face to “send a message” to their parents. I’ve seen the despair in the eyes of the innocent victims of jihad, and — believe me — that despair is infinitely greater than the alleged “anguish” caused by a few cartoons.

Muslim Terrorists Used Ten-year-old Girl For Suicide Bombing in Nigeria




Boko Haram militants have increasingly used women and young girls as human bombs in their six-year quest for a hardline Islamic state, pictured is burnt Bama market destroyed by gunmen in April 2013.

[From article]
A bomb strapped to a girl aged around 10 years old exploded in a busy market place in the Nigerian city of Maiduguri on Saturday, killing at least 16 people and injuring more than 20, security sources said.
"The explosive devices were wrapped around her body and the girl looked no more than 10 years old," a police source said.
Maiduguri, the capital of northern Borno state, lies in the heartland of an insurgency by Islamist militant group Boko Haram, and is often hit by bomb attacks.
A Nigerian security source said the bomb went off at 12:15 p.m. The girl was killed and the bodies of at least 16 victims were counted in one hospital by mid-afternoon, civilian joint task force member Zakariya Mohammed told Reuters.
[. . .]
Last year more than 10,000 people died in the violence, according to an estimate by the Council on Foreign Relations.
About 130 km (80 miles) away in the Yobe state capital Damaturu, the army subdued an Islamist militant attack on Friday evening, but not before militants had torched several buildings,
[. . .]
He said 14 soldiers had been killed in the first attack at last weekend. On Friday, the government said it had launched ground action backed by airstrikes to reclaim the area.
On Saturday afternoon, a bomb exploded at the main police station in the town of Potiskum in Yobe state after a man was arrested and brought to the station with his car, the state police commissioner said

Burn Victim To Suicide Bomber: Civilization Clash





By Dr. Arieh Eldad an M.D. at Hadassah Hospital in Israel

[From article]
I was asked to supply skin for an Arab woman from Gaza , who
was hospitalized in Soroka Hospital in Beersheva, after her family burned
her.
Usually, such atrocities happen among Arab families when the women are
suspected of having an affair.
We supplied all the needed Homografts for her treatment. She was
successfully treated by my friend and colleague, Prof. Lior Rosenberg and
discharged to return to Gaza ..
She was invited for regular follow-up visits to the outpatient clinic in
Beersheva.
One day she was caught at a border crossing wearing a suicide belt.
She meant to explode herself in the outpatient clinic of the hospital
where they saved her life.
It seems that her family promised her that if she did that, they would
forgive her.
This is only one example of the war between Jews and Muslims in the Land
of Israel . It is not a territorial conflict. This is a civilizational
conflict, or rather a war between civilization & barbarism.
Bibi (Netanyahu) gets it, Obama does not.
