Pulse nightclub jihad murderer’s father was FBI informant, this kept FBI from indicting killer 3 years before massacre

Pulse nightclub jihad murderer’s father was FBI informant, this kept FBI from indicting killer 3 years before massacre: “Salman’s lawyers allege the new revelation prevented them from investigating whether or not Seddique Mateen knew of his son’s plans to attack the nightclub. According to the motion, defense lawyers allege that the decision not to give Noor Salman a polygraph was possibly ‘based on the FBI’s desire to implicate Noor Salman, rather than Seddique Mateen in order to avoid scrutiny of its own ineptitude with the latter. Mateen’s father played a significant role in the FBI’s decision not to seek an indictment from the Justice Department for false statements to the FBI or obstruction of justice against Omar Mateen’ during its 2013 investigation into his alleged threats, the motion stated.” See original work for more on this and other stories.
