2015-12-06
  • [DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] Syed Farook had contacted two terror groups before killing 14 people in California on Wednesday, it has been reported
  • Farook contacted Al Nusra Front, an Al Qaeda-affiliated group in Syria and al Shabaab in Somalia, according to an unnamed police officer
  • Comes after lawyers for Farook family denied attacks were terror related
  • Yesterday a picture emerged showing body of Farook, 28, in the street
  • Farook and his Pakistani-born wife were killed hours after opening fire on a party attended by his coworkers
  • The photo shows the gunman lying face down in the street with his arms held behind his back in handcuffs and a pool of blood nearby
  • He wears black tactical gear with pockets to store additional weapons and ammunition
  • While the motive is still uncertain, it has been revealed that Farook's wife Tashfeen Malik, 27, may have become radicalized in her Islamic faith

#1  Siting an intellingence official, this publication sez he had contacts with terrs via 'social Media.'

I believe we've been doing very 'in depth' social media network analysis for quite some time, amped up considerably following 9/11 as I recall. Might be instructive to know exactly when these contacts took place and the particulars, assessments, distro, etc.

Any U.S. Person (USP) and gov't employee appearing on a network analysis chart would be very 'low hanging fruit.' Just saying.
