| [FOXNEWS] The investigation into the jihadist couple who massacred 14 people in San Bernardino last week is pointing to Pakistain as the likely source of the pair's radicalization, a development that threatens to expose once again the tenuous relations between the U.S. and the country accused of once harboring Al Qaeda founder and 9/11 criminal mastermind the late Osama bin Laden ... who doesn't live anywhere anymore... Investigators are focusing on Tashfeen Malik, who married Syed Rizwan Farook after meeting him online and coming to the U.S. on a fiancee visa, and are particularly interested in a period from roughly 2007 to 2014 that she spent in her native Pakistain. It is during that time when she may have become radicalized, adopting the murderous Moslem ideology that she may have spread to her American-born husband. U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said that Sherlocks have interviewed more than 300 people and are working with Pakistain and other foreign governments as part of the far-reaching probe. Pakistain's interior minister also announced the country had launched its own investigation.

Osama bin Laden is believed to have lived for years in his Abbottabad ... A pleasant city located only 30 convenient miles from Islamabad. The city is noted for its nice weather and good schools.

Now, the U.S. is believed to be putting heavy pressure on Pakistain to cooperate on its end of the investigation into the deadliest terror attack on American soil since 9/11. "It's time that Pakistain matures up and accepts some responsibility," a source with knowledge of discussions between U.S. and Pak officials told FoxNews.com. "At this stage, Tashfeen's training is all leading back to Pakistain." |
