The FBI’s near-miss investigation of Orlando nightclub shooter Omar Mateen reflects
a US counterterror effort swamped by potential targets and struggling
to separate lethal Islamic State recruits from hotheads venting their
spleen.
After dropping its 2013 scrutiny of Mateen, the bureau is under fire
for not doing more to prevent the worst mass shooting in modern US
history. Yet on other occasions in recent months, the FBI has been
criticised for its handling of domestic terror probes, including the use
of controversial sting operations.
