A federal jury found Noor Salman not guilty on Friday of charges that she aided and abetted her late husband Omar Mateen in his ISIS-linked jihad attack on the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Salman was also acquitted on charges of obstructing justice by giving misleading statements to law enforcement officers after the massacre.
