Noor Salman, wife of Omar Mateen who shot the Pulse nightclub in Florida, told investigators that she knew he was going to be violent beforehand. Mateen killed dozens of the people in the LGBTQ nightclub in 2016. Salman confessed, " I wished I had done the right thing but my fear held me back. I wish I had been more truthful." She was charged with material support to a foreign terrorist and obstruction of justice. Salman pleaded not guilty. Her defense attorney painted the image of Salman to be a simple young mother with a low iq. Plus Mateen had a history of infidelity and abuse towards Salman. An Fbi special agent said that she with held information because she was in denial about Mateen.
This article was written by Eric Levenson and Daniel Shepherd, CNN. I understand that it was hard for Salman to come to terms with what her husband, but there were clear signs that Mateen was explosive, he even asked her what attack would make people more upset: an attack on Disney or a nightclub. This article can be related back the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando Florida back in 2016.
