San Bernardino Shooting Update: FBI Investigating Possible Terrorism Link

US News • Views: 54,714

There’s still no solid evidence of terrorism in the San Bernardino shooting attacks, but according to the LA Times the FBI believes the suspects may have been in contact with known extremists.

Federal officials widened their probe Thursday into a possible terrorist motivation for Wednesday’s San Bernardino shooting rampage, sorting through computer records, tracking the travels of the shooting suspects and interviewing others the two spoke to in recent days.

A senior federal government official said agents believe suspect Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, was in contact with a small number of people authorities suspect are extremists. The official said agents have picked up indications he “communicated” with at least one individual that U.S. law enforcement officials were monitoring as a potential terrorism suspect.

The official, briefed on the matter but not authorized to speak publicly, said agents believe Farook’s connection to a potential terrorism suspect in this country might be someone he knew only tangentially.
