Newsy’s Noor Tagouri, a first-generation Libyan-American, made news herself when she became the first woman to appear in Playboy wearing a hijab (and clothing), as one of Playboy Magazine’s 2016 Renegades.
Unfortunately for her, Raw Story reran her photo from its own article on her Playboy appearance atop Monday’s story about the FBI’s arrest of Noor Salman, widow of Pulse nightclub shooter Omar Mateen.
Oops.
This poor woman. https://t.co/7RTJeCXWt9

Good point, not to mention they don’t look much alike. This is Noor Salman:

Maybe someone at Raw Story searched the photo archive for “Noor” and just ran with whatever popped up.

So, how did you enjoy your first day in the news as the arrested wife of a mass shooter?
Still no word from @RawStory…pic still comes up in google cache version of story. Not ok. https://t.co/MzvH1xClkm pic.twitter.com/JWBI8IEfRF
