Federal officials added Noor Salman, as well as her father-in-law Seddique Mateen, to the lists, ABC reports.
A grand jury is continuing to investigate if she played a role in the massacre that killed 49 clubgoers considered the worst mass shooting in the nation's history.
Salman was with her husband when he recently bought ammunition and a holster, according to sources.
While holed up in a bathroom with hostages at club Pulse early Sunday morning, about two hours after launching the horrific attack, Mateen tapped out a message to his wife to ask if she had seen the news, according to CNN. She typed back and said she loved him.
Salman claimed she tried to persuade her 29-year-old husband, who was killed during a shootout with cops at the club, not to go forward with his sick plot.
Being added to a no-fly list will bar Salman and her father-in-law from being able to travel on a commercial airline.

(25,406 posts)without any due process. But what's to stop the authorities putting a bunch of BLM activists, for example, on the list shortly before a big protest? And how would people here feel if they showed up at the airport to find out that they had mysteriously been placed on the list?

(1,383 posts)I'm sure I missed it but has her background been reported?
The first wife was an abused woman that left the marriage. What's the story on the current wife?
Where is she from, where did they meet, how long have they been together? Etc
