Orlando Jihad

Handwritten statement from Orlando nightclub shooter's wife details preparations: 'I knew the time to attack the club was close'
Excerpt: Omar Mateen’s wife told FBI agents she knew her husband was going to attack the Pulse nightclub after he spoke about jihad, visited a shooting range and scouted his target in the months leading up to the mass shooting, according to a handwritten statement. Hours after Mateen was shot dead by police inside the Orlando nightclub where he killed 49 people on June 12, 2016, Noor Salman wrote the 12-page statement while she was questioned without a lawyer. “I knew when he left the house he was going to Orlando to attack the Pulse nightclub,” Salman said in the released statement obtained by the Orlando Sentinel.
