San Bernardino divers return to lake seeking electronic evidence

The two suspects are thought to have visited the park on the day of the shooting, an Federal Bureau of Investigation spokesman said.

Kabir, who was apprehended in Afghanistan in 2012, was sentenced this year to 25 years in prison for his role in the case.

Authorities wouldn’t say what, specifically, might be in the water, but said they had several leads that Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik had been there around the time they killed 14 people and wounded 22 – one more than was known to be wounded until Thursday.

“At the end of the day, we may come up with nothing”. “We’re working very hard to understand exactly their association and the source of their inspiration”.

Republican Rep. Will Hurd of Texas, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, stated there’s at present no proof Malik’s radicalization would have been readily obvious when she was evaluated for a fiancée visa.

The government is already facing scrutiny for allowing Malik into the USA on a fiance visa past year.

The revelation came as FBI investigators discovered photos of local schools on Farook’s phone, suggesting that the couple may have been targeting those sites as part of a far larger attack than previously known, according to theLos Angeles Times.

Velasco was the baby in the family, the one her sisters all remember excitedly bringing home from the hospital and watching grow up. “It appears that there was not any evidence that would have been discoverable during an interview for a visa”.

The offices and small warehouse spaces at Olympic Drive and California Avenue are close to shooter Syed Razwin Farook’s older brother’s house.

Past plot with former neighbor?

However, Farook may have had a professional reason to keep the photos on his phone due to his work inspecting school cafeterias as a county inspector at the Inland Regional Center, the site of the attack.

On Thursday, members of Congress were briefed on the shootings and the ongoing investigation. He has not been charged with a crime. Marquez converted to Islam around the time he purchased the weapons, sources have told The Times.

Federal Bureau of Investigation director James Comey told a US Senate committee on Wednesday that the couple were discovered to have been discussing jihad and martyrdom online with each other as far back as 2013, a year before they met in person. The FBI also has the benefits of data from US intelligence agencies that collect foreign communications and from service providers for the accounts they used to communicate.

Hours after the shooting, Marquez posted a cryptic message on his Facebook page.

He stressed the four Riverside defendants were never accused of planning attacks within the United States.

The official declined to say what the divers were looking for in Seccombe Lake at a park a short distance north of the Inland Regional Center where the December 2 shooting rampage carried out by a radicalized Islamist couple occurred.
