WASHINGTON - 3 October 2017: The Federal Bureau of Investigations on Monday announced that they have discovered no connections between suspected Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock and Daesh, the Daily Beast reported.

"We have determined to this point no connection with the international terrorist group," said the FBI special agent in charge of the Las Vegas investigation. "We will continue to work with our partners to ensure that this is factually, thoroughly, and absolutely investigated to be able to bring comfort and peace back to this community."

Without providing even a shred of evidence, Daesh claimed responsibility for the mass shooting in Las Vegas that killed at least 50 people and injured hundreds of others.

Without naming Paddock, the terror organization said in a statement, via its news agency, that he "executed the operation in response to calls to target countries of the coalition."
