Omar Mateen and connection with Islamic terrorists

The shooter turned out to be 29-year-old Omar Mateen, who was born in New York in a family of immigrants from Afghanistan. The Daily Beast reports that he came to the attention of intelligence agencies in 2013 and 2014 in connection with the terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon. The Federal Bureau of Investigation began an investigation against him, which was soon closed.

Mateen had a Florida gun license and worked for a private security company. Omar's father told NBC that his son practiced Islam, but believes his crime was homophobic rather than religious.

We recently walked around Miami, music was playing. He saw two men kissing right in front of his wife and children. The son was very angry. We apologize for what happened. We didn't know our son would do this. We are in shock, like the whole country.- Mir Seddiqi, father of the killer

But NBC journalists report that Mateen called 911 directly from the seized club and swore allegiance to the Islamic State (an organization banned in Russia). RIA Novosti, citing Reuters, reported that IS claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack in Orlando.

An armed attack on a gay nightclub in the city of Orlando in the US state of Florida, as a result of which more than 100 people were killed or injured, was carried out by an Islamic State fighter (banned in Russia).

A member of the US Congress and Intelligence Committee explained that Islamic terrorist leaders called for attacks during the holy month of Ramadan.

The fact that this shooting took place during Ramadan and that the ISIS leadership in Raqqa was calling for attacks during this time, and that the target was an LGBT nightclub during Pride and - to be precise - that, according to local law enforcement, The shooter swore allegiance to ISIS, indicating that the Islamic State inspired the attack.- Adam Shift intelligence committee member

The media compare the shooting at the Pulse club with the September 11 terrorist attack and say that this is the second largest terrorist attack in the history of the country. US President Barack Obama issued a statement calling the incident a terrorist attack motivated by hate.

While the investigation is ongoing, we can already say that this was an act of terror and an act of hatred. We are still studying all the circumstances. We do not yet have a final judgment regarding the specific motivation of the killer.- Barack Obama

US presidential candidate in the upcoming fall elections, Donald Trump, was outraged by the fact that the current president did not say anything about Islamic terrorism and the fight against it.

Is President Obama even going to mention radical Islamic terrorism? If not, he must resign immediately!

A student at the Nizhny Novgorod Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation was expelled from the educational institution after a sex video with his participation appeared on the Internet. RIA Novosti reports this with reference to a representative of the academy.

In turn, representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that the department began an investigation into what happened in the Nizhny Novgorod club MILO.

Some Internet users who condemned the couple's immoral behavior are puzzled why the nightclub security did not intervene in the situation. People outraged by hooliganism believe that investigative authorities should conduct an investigation.

A completely wild incident occurred last weekend at the Nizhny Novgorod nightclub “Milo”: there, in the midst of a party, a young couple had sex on the dance floor right at the bar, in front of dozens of visitors to the establishment.

Eyewitnesses filmed this entire action, and the very next day the “18+” videos spread across social networks. The footage shows that the girl - the heroine of the video - is clearly not herself: most likely, she is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. However, this did not bother her partner at all. However, like the crowd of people nearby. By the way, about people. None of those present tried to stop what was happening - basically everyone was in a hurry to film public sex on a mobile camera, and those who were braver came closer and filmed “close-up”. At the same time, the crowd booed and squealed in approval, and some even applauded the moral decline of two young people, who later became “famous” throughout the country.

It’s obvious that she’s under something, poor girl, she was just taken dirty advantage of! – wrote Tatyana Korobova.

Horror, because it's someone's future wife... - noted Igor Markin.

Despite the extreme degree of indignation of many Internet users who saw the video, the blatant actions of the young people are qualified only as petty hooliganism - Art. 20.1 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

Petty hooliganism, that is, a violation of public order that expresses clear disrespect for society, entails an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred to one thousand rubles or administrative arrest for up to fifteen days, says the administrative code.

However, so far no one is going to punish the depraved couple - there is no reason.

To resolve the issue of bringing young people to administrative responsibility, it is necessary to make statements from citizens who witnessed this incident about insult moral standards. Since we have not received such statements, we are not conducting an inspection,” they told “KP” - NN” in the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Nizhny Novgorod.

According to unofficial information, the heroes of the 18+ video from the Milo nightclub are students of Nizhny Novgorod universities - Minin University and the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. " TVNZ"in Nizhny Novgorod" sent editorial inquiries to these universities to find out whether the management would somehow react to what happened.
