The Islamic State group claimed Monday
that the shooting massacre in Las Vegas
was carried out by one of its “ soldiers ”
who had “ converted to Islam ” months
ago.
“ The executor of the Las Vegas attack is
a soldier of the Islamic State and he
carried out the operation as a response ”
to calls to target countries engaged in
military action against the jihadists , IS ’s
propaganda outlet Amaq said in online
statements .
“ The author of the Las Vegas attack
converted to Islam a few months ago,”
Amaq said , in the statements posted on
the Telegram online messaging service .
It provided no evidence to back up its
claims.
Fifty people were killed and hundreds
wounded on Sunday night when an
attacker opened fire on a country music
concert in Las Vegas, in the deadliest
mass shooting in US history .
Police said Nevada resident Stephen
Paddock had been found dead by
special forces responding to reports of
gunfire from the 32 nd floor of the
Mandalay Bay hotel - casino.
At least eight rifles rented by the 64 -
year- old were found inside the room , he
added.
The statements come after IS on Friday
released an audio recording of what it
said was its leader Abu Bakr al -
Baghdadi calling on jihadists in Syria
and Iraq to “ resist” their enemies .
That was seen as a move to boost the
morale of its fighters under pressure in
the Syria and Iraq in the face of
offensives by the Damascus regime and
its allies including Russia and US -
backed fighters in both countries.
Since Baghdadi ’ s previous message to
his followers last November, the
territory the jihadists still hold in the
cross - border “ caliphate ” they
proclaimed in 2014 has shrunk to a
fraction of its former extent .
