FBI release full transcript of 911 call from Orlando gunman, as he pledged allegiance to ISIS leader

03:56:00    No comments

The FBI released the full transcript of a 911 call made by the Orlando nightclub killer which confirms he did pledge allegiance to the leader of Islamic State.
Earlier today the FBI released a transcript of the 911 calls made by Omar Mateen as he launched the sickening attack inside Pulse nightclub.
However, a number of words were redacted with the transcript not showing who the killer pledged allegiance too.
Now, after pressure from a number of politicians, the full transcript has been released.
It shows that Mateen told 911: "I pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi may God protect him [in Arabic] on behalf of the Islamic State."
The earlier version released by the FBI had deleted the name of the ISIS leader and Islamic State.
Mateen, 29, is said to have paused during a three-hour siege to telephone emergency dispatchers three times.
He told the operator he was Islamic soldier
He is also thought to have posted internet messages from inside the club professing his support for ISIS.
It emerged today that as well as threatening to strap bombs to hostages, he also told 911 operators he had a vehicle outside the club laden with bombs.
In a transcript of the conversation released by the FBI, Omar Mateen also demanded the US stop bombing Syria and Iraq.
When asked by a crisis negotiator to describe what he had done, the 29-year-old said: "No, you already know what I did.”
He then told them: "There is some vehicle outside that has some bombs, just to let you know.
“You people are gonna get it, and I'm gonna ignite it if they try to do anything stupid.'' No explosives were found on the nightclub premises by authorities.
He described himself as an "Islamic soldier’' before demanding the US military withdraw from their fight against terror group ISIS.
Over the next hour, Mateen had three conversations with crisis negotiators.
Mateen told the emergency dispatcher he was wearing an explosive vest like the kind they "used in France," apparently referring to the deadly assault in Paris last November by Islamic militants, according to the transcript.
According to the FBI, the first lasted nine minutes, the second 16 and the final call lasted three minutes.
"In these calls the shooter, who identified himself as an Islamic soldier, told the crisis negotiator that he was the person who pledged his allegiance to (omitted), and told the negotiator to tell America to stop bombing Syria and Iraq and that is why he was 'out here right now,'" investigators said in a statement.

Selena Gomez trips and falls down stairs on stage, days after Ex fell during his show

03:30:00    No comments

The 23-year-old took an embarrassing tumble during her gig in Tulsa on Sunday night – much like her ex boyfriend did in April and again in June.
During a rendition of her new single Kill 'Em With Kindness, the gorgeous brunette appeared to trip down a set of stairs.
But rather than jump up all embarrassed, the star stayed on the ground to laugh it off, telling her audience: "First fall of the whole damn tour".
Wearing a turquoise sequin leotard, Selena sent her arms flailing as she tripped over on her high heels – and her face was an absolute picture.
Selena's unfortunate tumble comes just days after her ex did the same during his showing in Saskatoon, Canada, last Thursday.
A frankly hilarious video surfaced of the Sorry hitmaker strutting his stuff down the stage catwalk before appearing to fall off it.
Taking to Twitter a couple of days later, Justin joked that he was "a cat. I got 9 lives. Lol".

Beyonce managed to cause a world-wide meltdown with her album Lemonade, and she's nowhere near done with it yet.
The singer was snapped as she soaked up the sun in a skimpy multi-coloured swimsuit on holiday with hubby Jay Z this weekend in Hawaii - noticeably wearing a band of lemons in her hair.
She knows how to get tongues wagging.
While those famous lyrics were previously rumoured to be about Jay's alleged cheating, Beyonce couldn't have looked happier as she showed off the noticeable head-wear while putting on a loved up display with her other half.
Showing off her famous curves and slim figure, the star stood out a mile off in the long-sleeved cut-out one-piece, as she stopped to take selfies and share a kiss with her other half.
Adding to her accessories, she also rocked a necklace of lemons - in case anyone missed them.
Bey was later snapped donning a bright yellow kaftan for the stroll on the beach, keeping her hair naturally curly and wearing sunglasses.
Meanwhile Jay opted for navy shorts and a striped t-shirt, keeping things casual to let his wife steal the limelight.

Call for reform of DMCA: Taylor Swift seeks proper compensation of Artists by YouTube

01:49:00    No comments

Taylor Swift now takes aim at YouTube too. Nearly two years after she made headlines for removing her 
entire catalog from Spotify and criticizing them for not fairly compensating artists, the singer has joined a bunch of other musicians to sign a petition calling for a reform of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

The petition, organized by producer Irving Azoff, claims that YouTube has provided a "safe harbor" for copyright infringement under the current writing of the DMCA. The copyright law signed in 1998 by Bill Clinton has been allowing the website to serve copyrighted music without paying royalties to the artists or their labels.

"[The DMCA] has allowed major tech companies to grow and generate huge profits by creating ease of use for consumers to carry almost every recorded song in history in their pocket via a smartphone, while songwriters' and artists' earnings continue to diminish," the petition reads. "Music consumption has skyrocketed, but the monies generated by individual writers and artists for that consumption has plummeted."

Swift joined music's big names including Paul McCartney, U2, Lionel Richie and even her nemesis Katy Perry who also demand the DMCA to be amended. The petition will be published in issues of Politico, The Hill and other Washington D.C.-based publications throughout the week.

Orlando Shooting: Omar Mateen exchange text with wife during massacre

05:33:00    No comments

The gunman who killed 49 people at an Orlando gay nightclub exchanged texts with his wife during the rampage, asking “Do you see what’s happening?”.
The messages between Omar Mateen and his wife, Noor Zahi Salman began when she called him shortly after 2am when his mother called her to say she was worried where he was.
The ISIS-supporting killer was just starting his brutal massacre at that time and failed to answer his phone.
Around 4am Salman, 30, texted: “Where are you?”
Mateen replied: “Do you see what’s happening?” When she replied back writing “no” he wrote: “I love you babe.”
According to police sources she replied saying she loved him.
There were no communication between the couple after that, although Salman did call her husband back during his standoff with police.
He did not answer his phone.
He was shot dead by police at 5am as he tried to storm out of the night spot.
Prosecutors have convened a grand jury to investigate Salman in order to determine if she should face charges.
They are reported to be seeking to charge her with being an accessory to 49 counts of murder and 53 counts of attempted murder, as well as with failure to warn authorities about the impending attack.
Investigators are not revealing if she called authorities or 911 at any point during the shooting to identify her husband as the gunman.
Mateen’s second wife Salman has come under increasing scrutiny as police investigate the killings.
Authorities say the father-of-one carried out the killing after buying a Sig Sauer MCX semi-automatic assault-style rifle and a handgun and that the wife accompanied him when he bought ammunition.
When initially interviewed Salman gave FBI agents conflicting accounts about what she knew of her husband’s plans in the hours before the attack.

Battle of the Bastards: Jon Snow is ready to fight against Ramsay in episode 9 of GOT

04:44:00    No comments

The epic battle in the upcoming episode of "Game of Thrones" is previewed in a new photo released via EW. The image highlights Jon Snow on the battlefield, raising his sword Longclaw as he appears to be in a rage while fighting Ramsay Bolton and his army.
Previously released photos show other characters involved in the battle. Jon Snow is facing down the storming cavalry of Bolton, Ramsay is on his horse, Tormund Giantsbane is marching with fellow Wildings as Wun Wun is also charging. Sansa Stark and Ser Davos are seen in other images.
The battle sequence was filmed in Northern Ireland and has been described by showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss as the largest battle the show has ever shot. It took 25 days for the filming of the battle sequence alone, with 500 extras and 600 camera members involved.
"Every battle on 'Thrones' is unique," Sapochnik tells EW. "I think that's why [Benioff and Weiss] keep doing them. In the case of 'Battle of the Bastards' - or 'BOB' as we affectionately called it in production - David and Dan wanted to do a thing of spectacle, a strategic pitchfield battle they hadn't had the resources to do back in season 1 or 2. I was particularly interested in depicting both the horror of war and the role of luck in battle."
Weiss praises Sapochnik and the result of his work. "Miguel's really outdone himself. Fully fleshed out medieval battles require a tremendous amount of resources and choreography to get them right. It feels like we're doing something fresh that you don't see on TV and movies very often," he says.
