FBI Searches San Bernardino Lake as Terrorism Probe Continues
The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Thursday sent divers to search a lake in San Bernardino, Calif., for a computer hard drive missing from the home of the suspects in the recent deadly shooting, according to people familiar with the matter.

David Bowdich, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles office, told reporters the search of the lake could take days, and they were searching it because there were reports that the suspects had been seen at the lake the day of the shooting.
“We would be remiss not to go into this lake and conduct a thorough search,” said Mr. Bowdich, who declined to say what items were being sought in the lake, but vowed the investigation would leave “no stone unturned.”
The search of the lake is the latest move by the FBI to discover details about the suspects’ activity before the shooting. The lake search came as members of Congress briefed on the shootings Thursday said they were disturbed that neighbors and co-workers had seen signs that the suspects had been radicalized but failed to notify authorities.
They declined to give details, but said Ms. Malik and Mr. Farook had behaved in ways that raised suspicions. That contrasts with early reports suggesting the married couple gave no outward signs of radicalization.
