FORT PIERCE, Fla. – A clip from a 2012 documentary showing Omar Mateen at work was discovered Wednesday on YouTube. "They want more disasters to happen because that's where their money-making is," Mateen said in the video. It’s unclear if Mateen knew he was being taped for the 2012 documentary about the BP oil spill. "My son was a victim and got trapped in the scheme of this ISIS idea," Mateen’s father, Seddique Mateen, said. Seddique Mateen, who has been candid in his conversations about his son, wouldn't say if he thought his daughter-in-law could have prevented the attack.
