After thorough investigations, it's been gathered that the wife of the radicalized killer of 50 people at an Orlando nightclub in Florida might face charges for
not reporting to the authorities about her husband's plot to attack the nightclub. She also confirmed she knew he had newly bought firearms and that she once drove him to the gay nightclub where the shooting occurred.
According to Reuters,
The source told Reuters that a federal grand jury had been convened and could charge Omar Mateen's wife, Noor Salman, as early as Wednesday.
"It appears she had some knowledge of what was going on,"
said U.S. Senator Angus King, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, which received a briefing on the attack on Tuesday.
Mateen, who was shot dead by police after a three-hour standoff at the Pulse club early on Sunday, called 911 during his rampage to profess allegiance to various militant Islamist groups.
Federal investigators have said he was likely self-radicalized and there was no evidence that he received any instruction or aid from outside groups such as Islamic State. Mateen, 29, was a U.S. citizen, born in New York of Afghan immigrant parents.
