It would appear there is far more than was first released which may link Stephen Paddock, the mysterious man who killed 49 people at a Las Vegas Country Music Festival on Sunday, October 1, 2017 to connections in the Middle East.
ISIS did release statements taking credit for the incident.

According to reports, ISIS claimed through a propaganda arm, Amaq
News, that 64-year-old Stephen Paddock was a “solider” who converted to
Islam just a few months ago.
“The Las Vegas attacker is a soldier of the Islamic State in response
to calls to target coalition countries,” the agency claimed, http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/las-vegas-isis-shooting-claims-stephen-paddock-responsibility-latest-a7978941.html" rel="nofollow - according to the Independent UK . According to https://twitter.com/rcallimachi/status/844904841658871808" rel="nofollow - reporters who cover the Islamic State ,
when the terrorist group takes credit for an attack, it is generally
reliable. Many claim the Islamic State will take responsibility for any
attack, but that isn’t true.
Further, the Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/07/26/when-isis-claims-terrorist-attacks-its-worth-reading-closely/?utm_term=.b837f2813dda" rel="nofollow - analyzed the language
Amaq uses in its statements last year following a string of attacks
that were carried out by terrorists inspired by the Islamic State. The
language in Monday’s statement mirrored previous statements. However, it
must be emphasized that law enforcement has not confirmed the
terrorists’ claims. Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock wired
$100,000 to an account in his live-in girlfriend’s home country, the
Philippines, in the week before he unleashed the https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/las-vegas-shooting/las-vegas-shooting-deadliest-modern-u-s-history-n806486" rel="nofollow - worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history , according to multiple senior law enforcement officials.
comment: If he committed suicide isn't this similar to what Muslim would do after such an act? it is of course - and only a few mass murders kill themselves or feel any remorse for their deeds.
We have only to look at the brothers in the Boston Massacre which were inspired by people when they studied Islam and later propaganda materials were found.
Yet in this case, we have what appears to be an intelligent methodical person who according to his wife was a nice person she hoped to be with- she knew nothing of his actions nor did his own brother.
Is it possible that neither law enforcement or intelligence agencies may choose not to confirm a terrorist even if a person was one?
It is a mystery and of course in any mystery when some things just don't add up, the truth may be forever hidden.
It is a little hard to be a millionaire and have the government unaware of you. Did he pay taxes. Did he travel to suspicious Middle Eastern countries before the shooting? Yes, he did.
“Responding to the call of [Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi] to target the states
of the Crusader alliance, and after careful observation of gatherings of
the Crusaders in the US city of Las Vegas, one of the soldiers of the
caliphate (Abu Abd al-Bar al-Amriki, may Allah accept him) lay hidden
armed with machine guns and various ammunition in a hotel overlooking a
concert,” it said. It is already known which countries he took trips to, but finding out specific ones is still challenge. It is know that some of these were to the Middle East. Why would he go there?
