"Comey said Mateen first appeared on the radar of federal authorities in 2013 after his co-workers said he claimed to have family connections to al-Qaeda and said he wanted police to raid his apartment and assault his family so he could martyr himself, among other alarming remarks. The FBI investigated Mateen thoroughly for 10 months, but found no actionable evidence.Mateen was investigated by the FBI again in 2014 after his relationship with a suicide bomber was uncovered. Agents determined he knew the bomber “casually” and the second investigation was ultimately closed.
Comey also revealed that Mateen called 911 three times during Sunday’s attack."
