From above:
The shooter's father is running a non-profit called Provisional Government of Afghanistan, records show.
Seddique Mateen is listed as the sole member of the board of directors of that non-profit corporation, and the address listed is the residence in the 500 block of Southwest Bayshore Boulevard.
The elder Mateen's Provisional Government of Afghanistan Corporation was "organized for exclusively religious, charitable, educational and scientific purposes.
"Specifically, the organization will mediate and attempt to resolve social and territorial disputes," records state.
Mateen has declined to give his age and has not spoken much about himself or his businesses. He has objected to some inquiries that he said were political.
But state records show Seddique Mateen is on the board of The Durand Jirga Inc., paperwork for which was filed in 2010. The initial articles of incorporation, like those of the Provisional Government of Afghanistan, state it "will mediate and attempt to resolve social and territorial disputes." Current or former board members were listed as living in California, Florida and Canada.
The Durand Jirga Inc. published videos of Mateen talking about political relationships between the United States and Afghanistan. In one, he announced his candidacy for president of Afghanistan.
