Lion Heart 15,041 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 The friend of one of the San Bernardino shooters was arrested Thursday and charged with conspiring to commit terrorism and illegally purchasing two assault rifles used in the attack that killed 14 people. Enrique Marquez, 24, purchased the two assault rifles that his friend and former neighbor, Syed Rizwan Farook, used along with his wife, Tashfeen Malik, to carry out the Dec. 2 terror attack. Included in the three-count criminal complaint filed on Thursday are charges that Marquez defrauded immigration authorities by entering into a sham marriage with a member of Farook’s family. Authorities allege Marquez and Syed Rizwan Farook had planned attacks in Southern California back in 2011, including using firearms and explosives to attack the Riverside Community College. They also allegedly planned to bring a portion of the 91 Freeway to halt during rush hour using pipe bombs, and the open fire on stuck motorists and responding authorities. The two men went so far as purchasing firearms, ammunition, and other tactical gear, as well as practicing at local firing ranges, according to the complaint. In late 2011 and 2012, Marquez bought firearms on two occasions from a sporting goods store, but authorities allege the weapons were actually for Farook to carry out the attack. The two also reviewed Inspire Magazine, written by supporters of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, to design and construct pipe bombs with Christmas tree lights to remotely detonate, Marquez told agents, according to the complaint. While the alleged plots never came to fruition, FBI bomb technicians found that much of what Marquez and Farook learned while they planned their attacks was later used in the San Bernardino shooting. The indictment also revealed details of Marquez’s relationship with Farook and how it evolved over time. According to the federal complaint, the two met in 2004 in Riverside, California, as next-door neighbors. After Farook introduced Marquez to Islam, he converted in 2007. Federal investigators allege Farook then began introducing him to radical Islamic ideology, including lectures by Anwar al-Aulaqi, an American and Yemeni imam who was suspected being involved with, and recruiting for al-Qaeda. He and his son were killed by U.S. drone strikes.

That's BF's writer who needs to work on that. Anyway he was still arrested for planning other terrorist attacks with his friend back in 2011 with explosives and more. ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
