Noor Salman, the wife of the Orlando nightclub gunman Omar Mateen, could face life in prison on charges against her in a federal indictment unsealed Tuesday, as prosecutors said she deliberately helped her husband's terror plans while trying to keep police and the FBI off their trail. ISTANBUL NIGHTCLUB SHOOTING SUSPECT TRAINED IN AFGHANISTAN, OFFICIAL SAYSSalman, 30, "did knowingly aid and abet" her husband's attempts to support the Islamic State terror group, the two-count indictment unsealed on Tuesday stated. The "aiding and abetting" charge signals that the feds believe she played a major role in the attack, a former federal prosecutor told FoxNews.com. However, she drove him to the nightclub at least once before the attack, a law enforcement source told Fox News. "I was unaware of everything," Salman told the New York Times in November.
