Prior to the orlando shooting, an official tells cbs news mateen was active on dating sites, searching for both men and women. He tried to meet gay men and was forthcoming about being married. Investigators are finding more evidence mateen had a history of erratic behavior. His academic records note behavioral problems including a lack of selfdiscipline and selfcontrol and that he lacks remorse. Didnt really have too many friends. Reporter High School Classmate Robert Zirkle remembers being on a school bus with mateen on 9 11.

Like, when the bus would go he would start doing it again and it would stop and he would make a boom again. Reporter investigators continue to piece together mateens recent past.

Former u. S. Attorney vincent cohen. You have to go back and find out where she has been, how often she was with her husband, and what they were doing. And when you put those two together, the knowledge and the the possibility act, then you have enough to bring a charge. Reporter investigators have not found evidence that mateens was directed by isis. Scott, they are finding incidents over the years, which paint the killer as unstable and a potential threat.

Moscow backs the assad dictatorship. Heres david martin. Reporter the attack by russian fighter bombers on americanbacked Opposition Forces appeared to be deliberate and to ignore repeated u. S. Warnings. It happened in southern syria, where two su34s bombed Opposition Forces, some of them trained and equipped by the pentagon, as part of the war against isis. When the americanrun command center, which tracks russian flights in yellow up on that big screen, realized what had happened, it called the Russian Command Center in syria on a hot line set up specifically to avoid incidents like this, demanding the plane ceasefire. Two american f18 jet fighters were dispatched to provide air cover for the troops on the ground as they tried to evacuate their casualties. By the time the f18s arrived, the russian planes were headed away, although still close enough to see. But when the f18s broke away to refuel, the russians returned for a second bombing run. Another call went out to the Russian Command Center in syria demanding the planes wave off. And the crew of an Airborne Command post tried to contact the russian pilots directly but got no response. The su34s conducted another bombing run leaving a small number of opposition fighters dead on the ground. Its been nearly nine months since russian intervened in syrias civil war, and although russian planes have flown close to american aircraft before, this was the most serious incident between the two militaries.
