| Multiple Islamic militant groups spurned San Bernardino shooters |
| 2015-12-11 |
| U.S. government sources told Reuters on Thursday that Malik tried in vain to contact multiple Islamic militant groups in the months before she and Farook staged their attack, but her overtures were ignored. The organizations Malik sought out likely shied away out of extreme caution in communicating with individuals unknown to them and a fear of being caught up in a law-enforcement "sting" operation, sources said. The number of organizations that Malik attempted to approach and how she sought to reach them were unclear, though the groups almost certainly included al Qaeda's Syria-based official affiliate, the Nusrah Front, the government sources said. |

| #4 Somehow I'm thinking the guys at the mosque could have made the introductions. I suspect a couple of keywords on your online dating profile would get you noticed by the right folks who would then contact you and perhaps hook you up with Jihadi Jane so she can provide in person guidance. |

| #2 The source article doesn't speculate on attempted contacts that succeeded (if any). The sowing of FUD among prospective militant groups has apparently helped a bit. |

| #1 U.S. government sources told Reuters on Thursday that Malik tried in vain to contact multiple Islamic militant groups in the months before she and Farook staged their attack, but her overtures were ignored. How can they be sure? Obama, Kerry, and Hillary have often said "Move on, nothing to see here. no Muslim involvement; afterall they are the Religion of Peace." and we only find out later, there was plenty to see here. |
