CNN: Syed Farook was radicalized and had ties to terrorists

• CNN: Law enforcement sources say Syed Farook was radicalized and was in touch with terrorism suspects under FBI investigation
• Police say attack was meticulously planned
• Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik were married
• Family members say Farook was Muslim and was very religious, but did not appear to be radicalized
• President Obama: “It is possible that this was terrorist related, but we don’t know.”
• Guns used were legally bought. Explosives were present

SAN BERNADINDO, Calif. — CNN is reporting law enforcement sources tell them that California shooter Syed Farook was radicalized and was in touch with terrorism suspects under FBI investigation.

Co-worker Patrick Baccari told the Los Angeles Times that Farook, who was Muslim, recently visited Saudi Arabia to meet a woman he met online.

They returned as husband and wife.

The FBI has taken over the investigation into the attack that killed 14 people Wednesday.

In a news conference Thursday morning, President Obama said, “It is possible that this was terrorist related, but we don’t know.”

Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik committed the deadliest U.S. mass shooting since Sandy Hook in December 2012 before being killed by police, authorities say.

Farook, 28, and Malik, 27, had been married for two years, according to Hussam Ayloush, head of the Greater Los Angeles chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Muslim advocacy group.

The couple left their 6-month-old

Just saw this. Its looking like terrorism for sure now. The question is now whether they did this alone or had international coordination.

If someone commits a terrorist act because of their Christian beliefs, no matter how much they have twist the message of Christianity, then I consider them a Christian terrorist.

If someone commits a terrorist act because of their Muslim beliefs, no matter how much they have twist the message of Islam, then I consider them a Muslim terrorist.

Here is where many people purposely confuse the situation. If a Christian or Muslim merely commits a horrible act, that doesn't not put them in either of the above categories. If they commit the act because of their beliefs, then they fall into the above categories.

the above is too rational and logical. cease this posting behavior or be thread banned

Yep this is what most of us thought initially.

Yes! Headed for my first thread ban.

If they're Christian and follow the Bible's teachings, then the answer would be yes. But they could also be anti-gov't as well.

Multiple motives happen for sure.

I don't think they had international coordination, or at least ISIS did not know exact details. If there were only two participants and ISIS tweeted about the three lions, it leads me to believe they didn't know much about it. They were probably just watching the news like the rest of us and were trying to steal credit.

The American society must take basic steps to make it harder for people to obtain access to weapons, Obama said, noting that it is just too easy to do harm to others right now

Twelve pipe bombs were found...... how about pressure cookers ? How do you ban them .

Has the third person been cleared?

Arrested. Chief says, he was among many people who parked their cars and ran the other way. However, he had an outstanding warrant, a misdemeanor, and was arrested for that.

According to the FBI, terrorism is the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives

I thought they had said it was only the two. Maybe I'm wrong.

They committed a crime. They're criminals.

Why did they do it? That's what classifies it. Its as simple as that.

So if we can't ban pressure cookers, lets forget about regulating weapons? Is that the rationale? Because it isn't very rational.
