The FBI's top investigator in the San Bernardino terrorist attack said Friday that the husband and wife who shot and killed 14 people on Dec. 2 intended to detonate an explosive device inside the room, though the exact timetable of the plot remains unclear.

David Bowdich, the assistant director in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles field office, said Friday that investigators now believe that Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, attempted to detonate a pipe bomb hidden inside a bag at the Inland Regional Center.

What investigators still don't know is whether they planned to detonate the bomb first and then open fire on first responders, or to detonate the device as paramedics and police descended on the facility to tend to gunshot victims.

"Was the intent to detonate prior to their attack?" Bowdich asked. "We just don't have the answer."(continued)

Why doesn’t the FBI just ask Hussein?

[Norm Lenhart]

It was intent to commit an act of love.

Bloody savages in America’s midst!

Anyone who is presently experiencing violently hostile thoughts toward followers of the Religion of Peace must immediately turn themselves in to the FBI.

[Fido969]

We need to close the bomb-show loophole.

[ColdOne]

What I want to know is what they were doing those 3 hours right after the slaughter?

[Bratch]

They were trying to abide by the words of President Bush:

"Islam is a religion of piece(s)!"

FBI convinced that the Lyncher is large and in charge....

Discovering the hard way that an RC car controller has a range of feet, not miles.

Gee it all the NBA’ fault (National Bomb Association)

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Why didn’t the big bomb go off?

[ctdonath2]

AFAIK, they used an RC car as the remote detonator. Those things have very short range.

[Tzfat]

What was the FBI’s first clue? The bomb?

[I want the USA back]

The subhuman savages were obsessed with killing normal people because their ideology tells them to.
All with the same ideology need to be deported.

What I want to know is what they were doing those 3 hours right after the slaughter?

Yep.

[soycd]

Thankfully these two were followers of islam and that requires a lack of intelligence.

[drunknsage]

Explosives are hard.

[Red in Blue PA]

What we clearly need is bomb control.

Oh wait.....
