Guess they found her. The FBI has arrested the wife of the man who murdered 49 at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, The New York Times is reporting.
Noor Salman was taken into custody by F.B.I. agents at her home outside of San Francisco. Prosecutors had been weighing charges against her in the aftermath of the attack that killed 49 people and wounded dozens. A person familiar with details of the arrest said Ms. Salman was charged with obstruction.
Ms. Salman’s husband, Omar Mateen, was killed in a shootout with police during the rampage in a gay club on June 12, 2016. Investigators interviewed Ms. Salman for hours after the attack and came to believe she was not telling the truth about her husband’s plans to carry out the rampage.
Noor Salman is expected to appear in a Federal Court on Tuesday to answer for these charges.
