| [IsraelTimes] FBI also indicates that couple were radicalized 'for quite some time,' took target practice at area gun ranges The couple who carried out the San Bernardino massacre that killed 14 had been in contact with "people holding myrmidon views in Los Angeles," MSNBC reported Wednesday based on correspondence with local police officials. On Monday, the FBI said the two killers had been radicalized "for quite some time" and had taken target practice at area gun ranges. Authorities further disclosed that a year before the rampage, Syed Farook's co-workers at the county health department underwent "active-shooter" training in the very conference room where he and his wife opened fire on them last Wednesday. It was not immediately clear whether Farook attended the autumn 2014 training session on how to react to a workplace gunman, county spokeswoman Felisa Cardona said. It was held for members of the department's environmental health division, where Farook was a restaurant inspector. On Monday, one employee who had been in the room when Farook and Tashfeen Malik launched their attack on a holiday luncheon said colleagues tried to do just as they had been trained -- find protection and stay quiet. "Unfortunately the room just didn't provide a whole lot of protection," said Corwin Porter, assistant county health director. Farook, a 28-year-old born in the US to a Pak family, and Malik, a 29-year-old immigrant from Pakistain, were killed in a gunbattle with police hours after the bloodbath. "We have learned and believe that both subjects were radicalized and have been for quite some time," said David Bowdich, chief of the FBI's Los Angeles office. He added: "The question we're trying to get at is how did that happen and by whom and where did that happen? And I will tell you right now we don't know those answers." He also said the Muslim couple had taken target practice at ranges in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, with one session held within days of the rampage. In addition, authorities found 19 pipes in the couple's home in Redlands, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, that could be turned into bombs, Bowdich said. The FBI previously said it had found 12 pipe bombs. Newly released emergency radio transmissions from the fast-moving tragedy show that police identified Farook as a suspect almost immediately. Witnesses said he had left the luncheon about 20 minutes before the shooting began. It was was unclear how he was identified so quickly, given that witnesses said the attackers wore black ski masks. Bowdich would not address that question. |

| #10 Jan Morgan has been running a 'No Muslims Allowed' gun range for a number of years where she has been teaching gun safety - particularly to women. Of course CAIR and company got all upset about it but there wasn't anything they could do. This kind of vindicates her. I expect a lot more gun ranges to go 'no muslim'. |

| #7 So now we have "19 pipes".... NOT 12 pipe bombs. The original reports spoke of pipe bombs and some extra pipes, as I recall. I interpret the above as twelve completed pipe bombs plus the makings for an additional nineteen to be completed by the pharmacist wife later. |

| #2 given that witnesses said the attackers wore black ski masks You don't always need to see someone's face to be able to ID them. |

| #1 Syed Farook's co-workers at the county health department underwent "active-shooter" training in the very conference room where he and his wife opened fire on them last Wednesday. This makes me wonder if Farook himself underwent the same "active-shooter" training since he worked there himself at the time. Or maybe he was off work that day. |
