FLORIDA ATTACK
PEACE NEWS

(PEACE NEWS)A gay nightclub here was the scene early Sunday of the worst terror attack in U.S. history since 9/11.

"It appears he was organized and well-prepared," Orlando Police Chief John Mina said early Sunday. The shooter had an assault-type weapon, a handgun and "some type of (other) device on him."

There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack on jihadi forums, but ISIS sympathizers have reacted by praising the attack on pro-Islamic State forums.

Officials, aided by the FBI, warned that a lengthy investigation was ahead given the number of victims and the scope of the violence.

"We know enough to say this was an act of terror and act of hate," President Obama said in an address to the nation from the White House.
