And.........in Orlando, Florida, ^ Noor Salman, the widow of Pulse nightclub shooter Omar Mateen, is on trial. She aided and abetted her husband's ISIS-inspired terrorist attack which caused the the death of 49 people, prosecutors say.

Assistant U.S. Attorney James Mandolfo said during his opening statements that she misled FBI agents for hours during questioning before finally signing a confession. She is also facing obstruction charges.

Mandolfo said the evidence will show that Salman knew that her husband had pledged alliance to ISIS and had helped him plan the attack by scouting possible sites for an attack including City Place in West Palm Beach and Disney Springs in Orlando.

He also said Salman helped her husband create a cover story to distance her from the attack. He said the prosecution will present cell phone records, computer forensics evidence, text messages, bank statements and testimony from law enforcement officers to support its case.

Salman's defense attorney, Linda Moreno, said her client was a woman with an IQ of only 84, placing her in the lowest 20 percent of people, who had been lied to by her husband for years and that Mateen had hid his Jihadi plans from her just as he had used similar lies to cover his numerous affairs with other women. "Noor was in the dark about Mateen's despicable life," Moreno said.
