BREAKING: Without providing evidence, Islamic State claims Las Vegas attack, says shooter converted to Islam months ago.

Eta: I'm just reporting this. Don't believe it. No evidence shown.

These losers would claim responsibility regardless what happened and people die. Not saying it couldn't be ISIS related or whatever but they're some attention seeking pieces of shite.

The Dubai trip is suspicious, but a 63 year old white guy converting? That would be really odd.

I don't believe this. And I really don't like Muslims.

Just out of curiosity, do you have any links to ISIS claiming responsibility where it was proven they had no direct or indirect involvement?

That's incorrect

I too am skeptical of this claim, but go read pretty much anyone who focuses their career on ISIS, and they'll tell you the same - the idea ISIS will officially claim responsibility for any incident is not true at all

For example, @shirazmaher is a very serious academic on Islamic terror, and he's not totally discounting the claim

Mildly irresponsible to report this without more info on APs part

Do you really need to ask this question in an internet dominated by click bait articles?

I mean, they're just reporting that ISIS is claiming it. If ISIS is claiming it, I don't see a problem with them reporting that they are.

Now, whether or not the ISIS claims are valid is certainly still up in the air.

They tweeted it as breaking news. That's pretty irresponsible if no further evidence
