Seddique Mir Mateen, father of Omar Mateen (the individual that killed
around fifty gays in Orlando in the name of Isis), worked for the US secret
services in Afghanistan during the war against the communist government and its
ally, the Soviet Union (1979-89). After that, he migrated to the US where Omar
was born.
He is a media presenter for the Afghan diaspora. Currently, he is
presenting a program, The Durand Jirga Show [1], on Payam-e-Afghan
Satellite TV (based in San Francisco). Descendant of the Pashtun tribe, he lent
his support to the Taliban (which succeeded the “Mujahideens of Freedom” that the
CIA had organized with the Saudi billionaire, Bin Laden to fight against the
Russians). After President Hamid Karzai’s departure in September 2014, he
refuses to recognize the agreement between Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah
and comes out in favour of the president in exile of Afghanistan [2].
His son, Omar Mateen, was employed by the multinational security firm
G4S. He had never been singled out as either politically or religiously
radicalized. Although married, he used to visit the gay nightclub where he
committed his crimes and engaged in sexual relations with at least one other
clubber.
The brothers Djokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnayev, who carried out the attacks
at the sidelines of the Boston marathon, on 15 April 2013, were the political
nephews of Graham E. Fuller, a former CIA senior official who directed
operations, notably in Afghanistan.
Ansor Tsarnayev, the father of the two terrorists, is a Chechen who
worked with the CIA in the Soviet Union before migrating to the US. In 2012,
one of the two terrorists, Tamerlan, had participated in a seminar of the
Georgian association Foundation for Caucasia (Кавказский фонд) [3]. This NGO,
established by the Jamestown Foundation, which is in turn established by CIA,
used to prepare young people to “destabilize Russia”.
The Tsarnayev brothers had never been singled out as politically or
religiously radicalized.
The analyst Webster Tarpley says:
“the pattern is by now familiar: former foreign fighters, who have worked for the CIA or the State Department in conflict zones emigrate to the United States to live the “American Dream”. They stay in close contact with the US intelligence community. Their children, often born in the United States, devote themselves to terrorist operations just like among European nobility, the youngest son was destined for a military career.”

[1] The British traced the “Durand Line” to separate Afghanistan from
Pakistan. It therefore divides Pashtun people. Seddique Mir Mateen’s programme
claims to fight to re-unite this people.
