San Bernardino shooter may have planned a 2012 attack, officials say

“To honor them, to express our gratitude for their unimaginable sacrifice, we have to fight to maintain that ordinary”, County Supervisor Janice Rutherford said of the victims. “It’s like any other investigation, but this one is incredibly large”. So far, authorities have interviewed more than 400 people and collected more than 300 pieces of evidence.

Authorities also discovered 19 pipes in the couple’s home in Redlands, California, that could be turned into bombs, Bowdich said.

Law enforcement hasn’t yet handed over control of the crime scene, after which the center will have to clean up. A reconstruction team is attempting “to ultimately paint that picture of how everything transpired that day”, Bowdich said. It also, in a statement, said it was “shocked and saddened by recent events in San Bernardino”.

Until a few months ago, Farook and Malik lived in Riverside, next door to Marquez. Neighbors who spoke to ABC News said Marquez and Farook were longtime friends, but the relationship appeared to have grown more distant as Farook became more conservative recently. “We pray to God to accept them as martyrs”, it said.

Farook looked into contacting terrorist groups overseas, such as al Qaeda affiliate al Nusra Front and Al-Shabaab, a senior law enforcement official said.

“Normal” is the word that people who knew the couple used to describe them before they murdered 14 people. The FBI raided Marquez’s Riverside home Friday. Another person told the Post that he seemed like a “decent person”.

Saira and her husband Farhan Kahn said they couldn’t believe someone so close to them could do something so horrific. In Pakistan, where Malik attended college and Farook’s parents were born, the interior minister announced an inquiry into the shooters’ background had been launched.

A source confirmed to Reuters that the $US28,000 figure was roughly what the Federal Bureau of Investigation was looking into.

Malik, who spent a good portion of her life in Saudi Arabia and married Farook there before returning with him to California in the (northern) summer of 2014, is believed by investigators to have pledged allegiance on Facebook to the leader of the militant group Islamic State just before the killings.

Ms. Malik, 29, received a K-1 visa, which grants admission to the U.S.to an individual who intends to marry a citizen.

The California man said to have purchased two of the weapons used in the San Bernardino terror attack has provided the FBI with information not previously known to agents, as authorities consider whether others could be charged as accomplices in the mass murder, federal officials told ABC News.

Malik passed several government background checks and entered the U.S.in July 2014 on a K-1 visa, which allowed her to travel to the country and get married within 90 days of arrival. The couple’s daughter was born in May, according to records.

How much, if anything, did Farook’s mother know about the couple’s plans? No long-term decisions were made, and the child will remain in county custody for now. A follow-up custody hearing has been scheduled for January. I’ll leave you with the editors of the left-leaning Los Angeles Timesadmonishing Democrats over their “ban gun ownership for people on the no-fly list” politicking.

The FBI’s acknowledgement that the San Bernardino shooters had been radicalized Muslims for “quite some time” points to the difficulty discovering potential terrorists who keep a very low profile and shows the deadly consequences that can occur when identification comes too late.
