Mateen Traveled to Saudi Arabia for 'Muslim Pilgrimage' in 2011 and 2012, Before FBI Interviews

Federal officials have told NBC News that Omar Mateen went to Saudi Arabia in 2011 and 2012.  The officials were not able to make any distinction on what he was doing there.

However, a spokesman for Saudi Arabia's Ministry of the Interior told NBC News that Mateen visited to perform the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca known as Umrah.
