Pulse Massacre Jihadi’s Wife Arrested on Charges of Aiding Foreign Terror Group

Breitbart: The FBI arrested the wife of Omar Mateen, the jihadi responsible for a massacre at Orlando’s Pulse night club last year, on Monday morning in San Francisco on charges of obstruction of justice and aiding and abetting the attempted provision of material support to a foreign terrorist organization.

Salman will make a court appearance on Tuesday, her lawyer told ABC News. She was indicted in Tampa, Florida and is expected to relocate there to face charges in the case.

Mateen killed 49 people at an Orlando, Florida nightclub on June 12, 2016 and left more than 50 others injured. During the prolonged attack on the Pulse nightclub, Mateen called 9-1-1, pledged allegiance to ISIS and spoke of the Boston Marathon Islamic terrorist bombers. Mateen was eventually shot and killed in a standoff with law enforcement.

After the attack, reports revealed allegations that Mateen attended the Islamic Center Fort Pierce for 13 years or more. Salman had told the Washington Post that her husband “wasn’t very religious.”  more here

  1. Entire fam needs to be hauled in esp dad. I believe the bro of San Bernardino was arrested a few days ago as well for charges related to immigration fraud (married illegal Russian girl).
    Politicized fed agencies have their hands full just playing catch up going after past terrorist connections as well as present threats.

  2. Some other shoe is about to drop, then. Obama and Lynch would have been perfectly happy to let her go uncharged as they left office. She must be hanging around with a new team of lone wolves. I expect some of them have been, or will be, quietly arrested for terrorist plotting.

  3. Okay, so here’s a woman who is so into jihad that she helps her husband — whom I assume she cared about enough to marry — pull off a crime in which he is certain to be killed. What more does one need to know about her priorities and her allegiance?

  4. Trump is right. You have to go after the terrorists’ immediate families.
    Jihad is a family affair.
    Wives, siblings, parents form a network of accomplices.
    The Israelis bulldoze their family homes after an attack. Sounds harsh, but it’s one of the few deterrents that have any effect.
