Farook planned earlier terror attack, says pal who supplied guns in San Bernardino shooting
FoxNews.com ^ | December 09, 2015

The mysterious pal of Syed Rizwan Farook who bought the rifles used in last week's deadly terror attack in Southern California has told authorities Farook aborted an earlier attack, Fox News has learned.

Enrique Marquez, a former neighbor who is reportedly related to Farook by marriage, is cooperating with investigators and has not been named as a suspect in last Wednesday's attack, which left 14 dead and 21 injured in a San Bernardino social services facility. Authorities have so far said they believe Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, are the only known perpetrators of the attack, although Marquez was identified early on as the legal purchaser of the two AR-15 assault rifles used in the attack. It was not immediately clear when the scuttled attack was planned or what its target was. CNN, citing two U.S. officials, reported earlier Tuesday that Farook and another unidentified individual may have conspired to carry out an attack in 2012. However, one official told CNN that the pair "got spooked" and decided not to go through with their plan after a series of terror-related arrests in Southern California.

Authorities had previously said that Farook and Malik were planning a follow-up attack after the San Bernardino assault when they were killed in a gun battle with local authorities last week. However, they have been unable to identify what the target of that attack would have been.

If he supplied the weapons, he damn well better be charged under California law for an unlawful transfer.

Otherwise, what good are gun laws if they aren’t going to prosecute?

If he knew and said nothing, he’s guilty.

Seriously. Prior knowledge of a terror attack being planned and no attempt to warn authorities. Should be marched out and shot.

Plea bargaining? Get cooperation from one less involved accomplice in order to implicate others?
If you always punish everyone to the full extent of your knowledge they have no incentive to cooperate with the police.

Weird - it says attack planned in 2012 but gov. officials are saying he was radicalized in late 2013. Which is it? And why would he supply guns if he was aware of planned earlier attack?

Interesting......Considering the fact that this administration does not consider ISIS as Islamic and ISIS wasn't formed until 2013, the only thing that radicalized this couple was indeed Islam........

Beware an alliance with Islam and certain Latin American groups. Arabic and Spanish share over 2000 common words

I read in other news articles that authorities found many photos on Farook's cell phone of a local high school. Even though he was a food inspector at eleven schools, why take numerous photos of one particular school, scoping out all areas of the school? Has nothing to do with inspecting food. Maybe the pipe bombs were intended for that high school.

“interviews with Marquez, who Reuters reported last year married Mariya Chernykh, whose sister is the wife of Syed Raheel Farook, the shooter’s brother.”

This is getting deeper and deeper. Looks like Enrique may be involved a lot deep than we thought. Could he have been third man?

If this Marquez person is of Mexican descent, I’m more concerned if this guy is affiliated with MS 13. Cooperation between MS 13 and jihadists would not surprise me in the least.

The only thing mysterious about the pals of Syed Rizwan Farook is why they are not at Gitmo’ - including the LSM fan-peeps.

Gun laws aren’t working. We need more gun laws.
