Mir Seddique Mateen was father of Orlando mass shooter, Omar Mateen. He is a Pashtun who emigrated in the 1980s and an alleged supporter of the Taliban. Daniel Hopsicker has suggested that he "is a longtime CIA asset, whose TV show receives funding from the Voice of America" and that he has close ties to the California Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (who at the time of the event was chair of the United States House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe Eurasia and Emerging Threats).[1]
