Here’s the jihadist couple reentering the United States. If 24 had portrayed a pair looking like that entering the country to launch a terror attack, CAIR would have denounced their appearance as stereotyping.
Geraghty also makes the point that Mr. Obama might now be wishing he would not have said last night, “So far, we have no evidence that the killers were directed by a terrorist organization overseas, or that they were part of a broader conspiracy here at home.” Fox News reports,
The investigation into Wednesday's terror attack in San Bernardino, Calif. has guided federal investigators in the direction of terror suspects in the Middle East who may have made contact with gunmen Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik, Fox News has learned.
A high-level intelligence source told Fox News late Sunday that investigators are pursuing several lines of inquiry that ties Farook and Malik to the Middle East, including the possibility that the two's deadly rampage had been financed from overseas.
"We felt from early on these two couldn't have done this alone," the source said of the shooting in which the husband and wife killed 14 people at a county office building and injured 21 others. The source also said that the amount of evidence pointing in the direction of the Middle East had forced the Obama administration to "do an about-face" about the nature of Wednesday's attack over the previous 24 hours.
The latest developments in the investigation are likely to force authorities to take a closer look at Malik, a Pakistani citizen who spent several years in Saudi Arabia. Farook, a U.S. citizen, traveled to Saudi Arabia to meet Malik in September 2013 after the two had forged a relationship online, then traveled there again in July 2014 to bring her back to the United States on a K-1 visa, known as a "fiancee visa."
Over the weekend, Malik's family members opened up to various media outlets about her increasing religious fervor during the later years of her life.
