FBI hunts for electronic trail that could link San Bernardino shooters to foreign terror groups
LA Times ^ | 11/12/15 | Richard A. Serrano and Teresa Watanabe

As FBI divers continue to paddle the murky waters of a lake in San Bernardino, the federal investigation into the massacre at a county health department gathering is reaching a critical juncture: With whom were the two shooters in contact?

Officials have described Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, as "self-radicalized" terrorists since they killed 14 people and wounded 21 in the Dec. 2 attack.

But several federal law enforcement officials, speaking confidentially Friday and Saturday because the investigation is ongoing, are also concerned that the two shooters could have been jointly or independently in direct contact with members of one or more foreign terror operations.

The Islamic State group has described both shooters as "supporters" but has not claimed responsibility for the attack, unlike its immediate move to do so after the Paris terrorist assaults last month. The couple had pledged allegiance to the terror organization shortly before they launched their assault on the Inland Regional Center.

Whether Farook and Malik were ordered to carry out a terrorist attack may well be determined based on what the divers bring up from the bottom of Seccombe Lake.

The electronic trail was there in plain sight all along and was ignored, allowing Tashfeen Malik to obtain a Visa to come to the US. If anyone had bothered to check her social media posts, the Visa would never have been issued.

Once again Trump prevails and is right, the system failed only becuase it was told not to succeed. The regime is manipulating this away from jihadi because they dont want backlash and they want to continue with thier program against the American people

Syed Farook’s mother belonging to a Muslim Brotherhood front couldn’t have anything to do with it, could it?

Nah.

What makes you think that they did not check her facebook posts? I have reluctantly come to the conclusion, that at this point in the War on Terror, Our immigration officials, are not THAT STUPID. Even her name, Tashfeen, screams “JIHAD!” I believe, that her facebook page, moved her, to the head of the line.

The FBI’s protecting the American people... they care about us. If they’re NOT talking it’s because they don’t want to tip off terrorist cells.

The FBI’s NOT playing footsies with Obama... they’re off the liberal plantation.
