| Threats Against Muslims Must Stop A |
| Threats Against Muslims Must Stop After Orlando Attack: US

| US authorities on Wednesday warned that threats against Muslims would not be tolerated, and possibly prosecuted, after alleged incidents in the wake of the Orlando gay club massacre, which was carried out by a Muslim gunman.
Officials asked the public to help in the investigation of Sunday's carnage at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando -- the worst mass shooting in American history, which left 49 people dead and 53 others wounded.
Gunman Omar Mateen was killed in a shootout with police.
Authorities refused to comment on reports that Mateen's wife would face charges over her alleged knowledge of his intentions to carry out an attack, calling any talk of charges "premature" and saying no stone would be left unturned in the probe.
The city -- reeling from the mass shooting, the murder of a singer who competed on TV reality show "The Voice" and the death of a toddler in an alligator attack at a Disney resort hotel -- was bracing for the first wake for a club victim.
"Civil rights violations are a priority for the FBI," assistant special agent Ron Hopper told reporters. "We will investigate reported incidents against individuals based upon any class, any protected class, to include race, religion, and sexual orientation."
