Transcripts released Friday of the negotiations between an Orlando Police negotiator and the Pulse gunman give new insight into the tragedy.

In the three calls, Omar Mateen made demands related to the Islamic State, Syria, Iraq, the Boston Marathon bomber — and threatened more violence.

Mateen first called 911 just minutes into the Pulse shooting in the early morning hours of June 12. Then, at 2:48 a.m., a negotiator with Orlando Police called him and asked Mateen where he was.

Mateen’s response:

“No. Because you have to tell America to stop bombing Syria and Iraq. They are killing a lot of innocent people. What am I to do here when my people are getting killed over there?”

Soon after, Mateen told the negotiator that he set bombs outside the nightclub.

“By the way, there is some vehicles outside that have some bombs just to let you know. Your people are going to get it and I’m going to ignite it if they try to do anything stupid.”

Moments later, the gunman said the bombs could take out a city block.

There were long periods in all three calls where Mateen would not respond to the negotiator.

Even when the police negotiator wasn’t getting answers, he kept Mateen on the phone and kept calling him back when Mateen would hang up.  Orlando Police Chief John Mina says that bought time for first responders who were trying to save lives.

“During those conversations, our officers were inside rescuing people from behind the bar, from dressing rooms, so there was a lot going on and it was from the composure of our negotiator that made that possible,” said Chief Mina.

At the end of the last call, as Mateen continued to ask the negotiator to get the United States to stop air strikes in Syria and Iraq, the negotiator tries to convince Mateen to come out of the club.

“I’ve heard that and I want you to come outside and tell us yourself so the message rings true from you ... I need you to come outside with no weapons.”

Right after that, Mateen hung up.

At this point, Orlando Police is not providing audio of these calls, but Chief John Mina talked about the composure of their hostage negotiator through the tense calls with Mateen.

“Listening to our negotiator, he stayed very cool and composed through the entire conversation, even at times when Mateen was not,” Mina said.

In the calls, Mateen also referenced the Boston bombers, telling Orlando Police that it was now “his turn.”
