The FBI had a sit-down interview with another member of the mosque that was attended by Orlando killer Omar Mateen and a suicide bomber in Syria both attended service.

The New York Post reports:

In what was the first such known interview in connection with the nightclub shooting, two federal agents met with the man at the mosque for about 30 minutes ahead of Friday prayers, according to Omar Saleh, a lawyer for the Council of American-Islamic Relations who sat in on the session.

“We were meeting with some agents,” Saleh told Reuters, declining to identify the person interviewed. “They were asking questions relative to the incident that happened on Sunday.”

Saleh said that there would be more such interviews at the mosque, claiming that they welcome them as a way of showing they have an “open door,” presumably meaning they have nothing to hide.

With the FBI investigating his wife, and now interviewing other attendees from the mosque, the mosque that has now been home to two violent Islamic terrorists, that percentage of Americans still considering this a domestic gun violence issue have on increasingly obvious blinders.
