The 29-year-old said the war in Syria and
the France fear assaults amid calls to the 911
dispatcher.
Mateen passed on in a shootout with police after
powers raged the building.
The FBI said Mateen addressed a dispatcher
twice amid three telephone calls made around 30
minutes after he started the assault.
Mateen professedly made the calls while he held
more than twelve individuals prisoner at the venue.
The principal call (see beneath) endured around 50
seconds.
Police : Crisis 911, this is being recorded.
Mateen; for the sake of God the Benevolent, the
valuable [in Arabic]
Police: What?

himself as an "Islamic warrior".

in a "chilling, quiet and think way."

terrorist gathering was behind the shooting and that
Mateen was likely radicalized locally.

fidelity were excluded from the passage. The
FBI had already said he vowed dependability to
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the pioneer of the supposed
Islamic State.

trustworthiness to people who are in charge of
past terrorist assaults and to counteract rousing
future tragedies.

quit bombarding Syria and Iraq and that was the reason
he was "around here right at this point".

molding unit from a Heartbeat changing area
window to help casualties escape.

said he was going to put four bomb vests on

around 05:00 nearby time, trading fire with
Mateen before he was slaughtered.
Amid the three-hour stand-off, there was no
extra gunfire, police said.
