| Might face criminal charges The wife of Orlando terrorist Omar Mateen was right by his side as he bought ammunition, and even drove him once to the Pulse nightclub — but tried talking him out of an attack there, according to a new report. Officials told NBC News Noor Zahi Salman, Mateen’s second wife, might face criminal charges for failing to tell authorities what she knew before the Sunday attack. Salman said she was with Mateen as he bought ammo and a holster. She also took him to Pulse at least once to scope it out, according to NBC. But Salman said she tried talking her husband out of a violent attack.
Salman was spotted Tuesday for the first time since the massacre — shielding her face from news cameras as she left the Florida home she once shared with the madman. She left the home shortly after midnight, with a small group of people and police officers. A WSVN reporter captured Salman pulling a white hood over her face as she stepped into the backseat of a car, apparently with the couple’s son. The reporter said the home had been burglarized,
Few details are known about Salman and her marriage to the budding terrorist. Public records say Salman, 30, lived in a Chicago suburb before moving into Mateen’s Fort Pierce home in 2012, and then buying a house with him in Port Saint Lucie the next year. But in December 2015, she apparently moved across the country to live with her family in Rodeo, Calif., records show. Salman grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and attended Heald College-Concord, a local school that is now defunct. But after she married Mateen, he kept her from coming back home. “Her mother would always complain that the husband did not let her visit the family,” a neighbor, Sarwar Kaur, told the San Jose Mercury News. He said he only saw Salman return once, after the death of her father. Salman’s family seemed to keep to themselves.
Mateen’s father, Seddique Mateen, claimed Salman and the couple’s son were with Mateen only a few months ago — when he became enraged by seeing gay men in Miami kissing in front of his family. The father said the incident may have made Mateen snap, eventually leading to him murdering 49 people at Orlando’s Pulse gay nightclub.
Grindr declined comment about the reports, citing ongoing investigations. | ||||

#5  Kathryn Russell Tsarnaev. Yes, the wife of the late 'Boston Bomber' who shuffled around numerous pressure cookers [which she may have helped purchase] as well as industrial strength fireworks in what was reported as 'a very cramped apartment.' She never calls, she never writes. |

| #1 but tried talking him out of an attack there So she wanted him to attack somewhere else? Either way, Trump was right again. The close family knew what was going on. Seize everything and put her a$$ in prison then withdraw her citizenship and export her to Africa where she can live the life she's always dreamed of. |
