Officer at the presser just referred to "pipe bomb like" objects, too, so this didn't come from nowhere. I'm pretty sure it was reported earlier that they were not bombs, though.

The presser guy seemed to think they were but who knows. Them shooting the place then leaving fake bombs doesn't make any sense.

I thought he said that they were pretty sure that some of the other devices were explosive though.

I rewound it and he says they believed they were explosives, nothing confirmed other than that the bomb squad dealt with them.

Okay so here's what happened: They were planning a larger, more organized attack but someone at the Christmas party pissed him off so much he said "gently caress it," ran home and got his poo poo. That's why the pipe bombs didn't work. That's the only way this stupid thing makes any sense.

Tsk, abandoning the larger terror plot just because he's pissed off. Typical American-ized Muslim. Stick to the plan next time, brother.

They should adopt that little girl out and never ever tell her who her parents were. Anything else is just setting her up for a life of misery.

I'm not saying it's ISIS, it definitely isn't. But they waited a day before claiming the Paris attack, which was planned in Syria, rather than being a lone wolf (or wolves in this case.)

Summary: http://www.nytimes.com/live/san-bernardino-shooting/suspects-relative-expresses-shock-sadness-but-no-hints-on-motive/

quote:

Chief Jarrod Burguan of the San Bernardino police identified two suspects killed in a shootout with police officers as Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 27.

They were married and the parents of a 6-month-old daughter, according to Mr. Farook’s brother-in-law, Farhan Khan.

Mr. Farook was born in the United States, Chief Burguan said, and he had been employed with the county for five years as a health inspector.

He had been at a holiday party on Wednesday and left “angry,” amid a dispute, Chief Burguan said. He and his wife then returned with explosive devices and guns, and wearing tactical gear.

Law enforcement officials initially said there may have been as many as three assailants, but Chief Burguan said they were “reasonably” confident that Mr. Farook and Ms. Malik were the only attackers.

Considering the organization and equipment he had for the attack, I'm guessing he has been prepared to shoot up his office for an indeterminate period of time, and the flare up at the party is what finally pushed him over the brink

I think this may end up being it. Didn't it come out he just returned from paternity leave? I wonder if a contributing factor was how much paid time off he got... If any.

Also sucks if that newborn baby is now an orphan. :smith:

Right Wing Extremists were at his house, holding his infant daughter at gunpoint. Their demand? That mild mannered Syed, an innocent civil servant who furiously rushed home from a work party after receiving a threatening phone call, do the unthinkable.
