Turned away: Tashfeen Malik tried to contact Islamic militant groups, but was ignored - and she and her husband 'had planned an even BIGGER attack'

Terrorist Tashfeen Malik tried unsuccessfully to contact multiple Islamic militant groups in the months leading up to the San Bernardino attack, according to officials.

It also emerged on Thursday that Malik's husband and accomplice, Syed Farook, may have had ties to a jihadi recruiter who was convicted last year in connection to a 2012 terrorist plot, and that both he and Malik were reportedly planning an even deadlier attack in California.

Two US government sources said multiple militant groups likely ignored Malik's overtures because they have recently become extremely wary of responding to outsiders who they do not know or who have not been introduced to them out of fear of being caught in a sting operation.

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.

Isn't that the JV team Hussein wants to import?

Watch for Scrobama to keep pushing stories that paint these terrorists as isolated line wolves.

How does it make Islam look better when the Muzzies come up with these murder plots all by themselves?

Anyone seen a answer yet as to why they didn’t bother to dust for fingerprints in the apartment?

One of the many.

This guy had photos of the high school, its entrances and exits, etc, which he had taken while there in the course of his job to “inspect” for some environmental compliance thing.

I think he wanted to kill the Christian who had resisted Farook’s attempts to preach Islam to the office and thought he’d wipe out the defenseless Christmas party first, and then go into the high school.

He and his wife and the third person were missing for over 4hours before they tried to flee again as they tried to get rid of the evidence in his mother’s house.

Fortunately, somebody at the high school had noticed him the week before when he was there, reported it, and as soon as the shooting at the government building started, they locked down the high school and sent officers. So the jihadis were foiled...that time.

“Syed Farook, may have had ties to a jihadi recruiter who was convicted last year in connection to a 2012 terrorist plot”

That investigation was shut down by Obama according to the man doing the investigation. Also all his files were deleted.

Two males got away according to witnesses & phone vid - shooters were three tall men in black. Apt not fingerprinted, notes and so forth left untouched after FBI search. Same as Oklahoma City - three men only one was caught - more cover up. Political agenda?

Watch the videos of the reporters in the apartment. No dust. Several detectives, police, etc. have remarked about there was no sign of dusting for fingerprints.

*************************************

I wonder if this is why his name popped up on the police scanner .. that the name was familiar & somebody was doing an INV on the same name. Hmmm .... Mr. Terrorist certainly had the “perfect” job for scoping out schools for another Beslan style incident.

If you trust your government, then yes whatever the FBI say is true, everything else false. “Everything needed” is very ambiguous and minimizes further inquiry.

“Terrorist Tashfeen Malik tried ...”

########

Should read, “Terrorist TRASH-FIEND Malik tried...”

Sorry, I couldn’t help it.

I don’t believe you. Experienced detectives have stated there is no evidence of dusting for fingerprints. These were jihadists. FBI knew that there was a great likelihood that they were jihadists.

That apartment should have been dusted for fingerprints.
