San Bernardino shooting: Couple radicalized before they met, FBI says

"SNIP..............


As federal authorities attempt to piece together the circumstances surrounding the San Bernardino attack, they've been questioning Enrique Marquez, a former neighbor and friend of Farook.

Marquez bought two AR-15s years ago that were among the weapons Farook and his wife used in the shooting. He's also told investigators that he plotted another attack in California with Farook in 2012, U.S. officials said. The pair abruptly abandoned their plan, according to the account Marquez gave investigators, because they were spooked by unrelated FBI arrests of four people charged with attempting to travel abroad to carry out jihad.

Marquez has told investigators he didn't know about the plans for the San Bernardino shooting attack. He has not been charged with a crime.

Officials caution that Marquez's claim of a 2012 attack could turn out to be false and an attempt to deflect his role in helping buy weapons that Farook later used in the San Bernardino attack.

1. I'm still not ruling out work place violence as the primary motive

Or possibly the CIA brainwashed them into doing it. The FBI sounds islamophobic

2. Please tell us that this is satire,

because nobody in their right mind believes that.

3. Well

when the work place violence narrative didn't make sense to me, I was on the receiving end of being called an islamophobe here by a number of people I've never talked to before... so, gotta try to regain some liberal credentials or something and get my name off the official list of DU islamophobes

[GGJohn]

5. LOL.

Good one.
You win the DUzy award.

4. You've gotta think "Just the facts Mack". Go on the facts.

6. Knowing the number of Pakistanis I have in the past, the seems logical given the nature

of the marriage...

It didn't seem to be either a random 'love' marriage, or an arranged one...


Or, at least not arranged in the conventional ways...
