Pulse nightclub shooter’s wife was aware of plot — and did nothing

The wife of Omar Mateen, who committed a massacre in the Pulse nightclub in 2016, reportedly told the FBI that she knew about his plot beforehand — and did nothing to stop it.

Noor Salman — whose husband gunned down 49 people in the club — told investigators that she “knew that her husband was going to attack the Pulse nightclub” when he left the house on the night of June 11 last year, according to documents obtained by USA Today.

“My fears had come true and he did what he said he was going to do,” Salman said, according to the newspaper. “I was in denial and I could not believe that the father of my child was going to hurt other people.”

The wife also said she was warned repeatedly about the specific location and timing of the attack.

“How upset are people going to be when it gets attacked?” Mateen asked his wife at one point while they were driving by the club, according to her statement.

Salman also witnessed her husband browsing the Pulse website and declaring “this is my target.”

Bulldoze his mosque to the ground.
Execute the wife publicly
Deport all anyone even remotely related to them

Does Florida have a “duty to warn” law? I’m not sure that it was illegal for her to not alert the police to her husband’s plan. If she helped him, that’s a different story.

Can’t she be an accessory?

We went to Orlando for Disney in August. I had looked up the site before just to see what area it seemed to be in, if really Orlando or just outskirts. Didn’t look too “city”, but what did I know.

So, we were heading to a friend’s house one day on I4 past Orlando. There was a big accident backup our way so we tried to bypass heading toward the city itself. So, after making some mistakes we finally turned onto a main artery north. I remarked to my husband what a weird corner this seemed to be; like some hippie-dippie art marketplace. Then as we passed I couldn’t believe it - ooooohhhhh - a sign still said “Pulse” and the “art” was memorials there.

My eyes were big and our son noticed my shock and asked what the deal was - unfortunately, our passing there sort of forced the explanation of the awful killing there.

I had actually sort of intended to stay away from there for that exact reason!

She should be charged for the attack itself, she was complicit.

Assessory to outright wanton mass murder???
Yeah, she’s no better than if she pulled the trigger herself.
Needs to be dealt with accordingly.

The family of Ahmad Khan Rahami in Elizabeth, NJ took videos of him testing bombs in the backyard. He eventually placed them in NYC, a 5K race for Marines on the Jersey Shore and at a train station in Linden where the backpack bomb was discovered by a homeless guy. But that was how they tracked the bombs back to him. He was another second generation immigrant that was “radicalized” while his family gave passive encouragement.

he was complicit"

She is also complicit, and is an accessory before and after the fact (criminal charge).
Travel to Abu Dhabi or Pakistan with that knowledge.
Whoever made the decision to let her go abroad should be charged with dereliction of duty, and incompetence, and fired.

Pulse nightclub shooter’s wife The FBI was aware of plot — and did nothing.

Obola's FBI probably organized the plot.

I think she should be brought up on charges.

She was told all the details and did nothing.

She deserves to do some serious time.

There was too much potential for death and destruction. She should have informed police of the plot.

I will admit she was in a bad situation. If she reported him and he didn’t follow through, with his attitude she likely would have been killed by him. If he had been caught with her help and that record was revealed in court, she would likely have been killed.

And Cruz misrepresented what Trump said. It originally started when Trump was asked about waterboarding terrorists and Trump wanted to go tougher than waterboarding. But Cruz defended the terrorists who chop off heads and had a problem with waterboarding. Go get the Cruz ping list. Who cares?

Well it gives the police cover for not intervening for a couple of hours.
