Orlando Pulse nightclub: Gunman's wife arrested
The wife of the gunman who killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, last year has been arrested in San Francisco, US officials say.
Noor Salman is suspected of aiding and abetting her husband Omar Mateen, who was killed in a shootout with police, as well as obstructing justice.
It is expected she will be sent to Florida, where charges were filed.
Fifty-three people were also wounded by Mateen, who vowed allegiance to so-called Islamic State (IS).
Police interviewed Ms Salman last year, believing she may have been aware of her husband's plans.
She told the FBI her husband had become radicalised in the year leading up to the attack.
He made his pledge of allegiance during the actual assault, which lasted three hours.
