#1 David Bowdich, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles field office... said the FBI is studying "some international travel" on the part of Farook...

"I do not know all the countries he visited," he said, pressed on reports that Farook had made a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia, but said the travels did include Pakistan...

CNN cited law enforcement sources as noting Farook was "in touch with people being investigated by the FBI for international terrorism."

Not another "Tsaranev"?

#2 Apparently a Watch List is exactly that -- certainly not a not To Do List.

Why am I not surprised?

#5 My preliminary, tin hat bet is, he [and possibly his activities] were known to the FBI.

#7 Again, this employment place attack appears to be an alternative or secondary target. What was the primary target? For what target(s) were the IED's intended?

What event prompted a default to a secondary target, one where Farook was employed and known. If the workplace was NOT the primary target, was the primary target dumped because the pending attack was discovered? Were the explosives found to be inert...........?

Lots of questions yet to be answered.

When General Mike Flynn commanded JIEDDO (The Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Agency) his thrust was discovery "before the boom."

Following a pattern, I would guess fire and police

#10 Yes, 'Fire and Police' are very likely targets, no, probable targets. But what pushed the terrs off their primary target? I can't believe that the Christmas party was their primary. It had the potential to be a 'game ender' and indeed was.

#11 B, I believe this was Al Qaeda in the planning and the supplying, so the holiday party/meeting was a natural primary target. The IEDs would have been icing on the cake for them had they worked.
