And it happened again at Orlando
Reader comment on item: Sudden Jihad Syndrome – It's Now Official
Submitted by loupgarous (United States), Oct 17, 2016 at 19:50
Omar Mir Seddique Mateen joined the throng of Sudden Jihadis in Orlando, Florida, murdering 49 people and wounding 53 more.
According to the wikipedia article "Omar Mateen", "In a call to 9-1-1 during the shooting, Mateen identified himself as "Mujahideen", "Islamic Soldier", and "Soldier of God" and pledged his allegiance multiple times to the Sunni militant jihadist group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).[4] He said the shooting was "triggered" by an airstrike in Iraq that killed Abu Wahib, an ISIL commander, weeks before."
