You might remember, she allegedly drove Omar Mateen around to help him choose his target.
Orlando’s Pulse nightclub, where Omar Mateen gunned down 49 people and wounded dozens more before pledging allegiance to ISIS, wasn’t his intended target, prosecutors said at the trial of his widow Noor Salman on Wednesday.
In closing arguments in the case against Noor Salman, widow of Pulse Nightclub shooter Omar Mateen, prosecutors are laying out new theories on the planning before the attack, what Mateen’s wife knew, and how she allegedly lied to investigators.
Mateen had originally planned to attack Disney Springs, a shopping and entertainment complex just 15 miles away from Pulse — and Salman, 31, knew that, prosecutors said in their closing arguments.
Mateen wanted to smuggle an assault weapon into Disney Springs in a child’s stroller but changed his mind at the last minute, according to prosecutor Sarah Sweeney.
During interviews with the FBI after the attack, Salman recalled having dinner at Disney Springs (then known as Downtown Disney) and afterward, drove around Pulse nightclub for 20 minutes on June 8, 2016 with Mateen as he talked about attacking it. "
Omar was driving slowly, looking around and at one point stated, 'How upset are people going to be when it gets attacked,” Salman wrote in her statement.
AND THIS IS WHO THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY CHOOSES TO HONOR.
