ORLANDO COMES UP AGAIN – AT 11:54 A.M. ET:   A new arrest has been made in connection with last year's massacre in Orlando.  From The New York Times: 

WASHINGTON — The wife of the man who carried out a deadly terrorist attack in Orlando, Fla., has been arrested in connection with the mass shooting, a law enforcement official said Monday.

The woman, Noor Salman, was taken into custody by F.B.I. agents at her home outside of San Francisco. Prosecutors had been weighing charges against her in the aftermath of the attack that killed 49 people and wounded dozens. A person familiar with details of the arrest said Ms. Salman was charged with obstruction.

Ms. Salman’s husband, Omar Mateen, was killed in a shootout with police during the rampage in a gay club on June 12, 2016. Investigators interviewed Ms. Salman for hours after the attack and came to believe she was not telling the truth about her husband’s plans to carry out the rampage.

She is expected to make an initial appearance on Tuesday in federal court in San Francisco.

COMMENT:  I want to know a lot more about this.  Who inspired Mateen?  Who, if anyone, directed him?  He claimed he'd been taunted because he was a Muslim.  So he went out and murdered 49 people? 

There may well be a bigger story here.  Maybe, with this arrest, we'll learn the whole truth.
