According to Agence France Presse, the group said the soldier had “converted to Islam several months ago”.
“The executor of the Las Vegas attack is a soldier of the Islamic State and he carried out the operation as a response” to calls to target countries engaged in military action against the jihadists, IS’s propaganda outlet Amaq said in online statements.
It provided no evidence to back up its claim.
