no, that is not what we meant....we aren't saying that Donny had this act performed himself just to get elected...what we mean is that fear is a powerful motivator and he does promise things which other candidates do not which can make people feel safe....this could increase the chances of him getting elected..

Here is whats fishy:

-The guy was born in the US but of pakistani origin - fine
- he posted on the matrimonial site that he speak urdu - fine as children of most pak families do
- he got married to a lady two years ago, supposedly from Pak but living in saudi arabia - she must be able to speak urdu
- they got married in saudi arabia - here it start getting fishy
- yet not body witnessed them speaking urdu - getting more fishy
- woman got the K-1 visa from pak but was she actually a pakistani?
- or she was planted by someone to go to matrimonial site and try to marry someone from US
- did she come to US with a plan to redicalize her husband?

History tells us if you want to find out evil or some thing that is question able---------women is the prime source. In this case it was a women who destroyed a well settled peace full citizen of USA to act that was impossible for him even to think about. His associates tells about his gentleness and a good worker before marriage. His wife married to him to come to USA to do terrorist work. He was born and raised in USA and was humble man. No matter what he did harm to Pakistan in USA and Europe. Media in USA is BIAS toward Muslims because of all filthy work is done in the world.

F.B.I. Says San Bernardino Assailants Were Radicalized

t Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen MalikCreditFederal Bureau of Investigation

The couple who carried out the deadly attack that killed 14 people here last week had long been radicalized and had been practicing at a target range days before their murder spree, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said Monday.

The characterization of the husband and wife team, Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, came as F.B.I. investigators were leaning away from the theory that Ms. Malik, who declared allegiance to the Islamic State on Facebook around the time of the attack, had led her American-born husband to the violence.

As the investigation has progressed, we have learned and believe that both subjects were radicalized and have been for quite some time, David Bowdich, the F.B.I. assistant director in charge of the Los Angeles field office, said at a news conference here. The authorities said they now had evidence that there was extensive planning for the attack. Mr. Bowdich said the couple honed their shooting skills at ranges across the Los Angeles region, including near where the attack took place here in San Bernardino County.

That target practice in one occasion happened within days of this event, he said.

With the investigation sprawling from California to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, the exact motives of Mr. Farook, 28, and Ms. Malik, 29, have not been identified. But in recent days a fuller picture of the couple has emerged as the F.B.I. and other American intelligence and law enforcement agencies have gained greater access to their electronics and phone call records, and as more interviews have been conducted with family members, friends, co-workers and other associates.

Investigators say they have learned through interviews with people who knew Mr. Farook for several years that he had militant views before he met Ms. Malik online and married her in Saudi Arabia.

At first it seemed very black and white to us that he changed radically when he met her, said one of the officials who declined to be identified because of the continuing investigation. But its become clear that he was that way before he met her.

At the news conference, Mr. Bowdich said that at this point, the authorities did not believe that forces beyond the nations borders had been involved in orchestrating the attack.

I want to be crystal clear here we do not see any evidence so far of a plot outside the continental U.S., he said. We may find it someday, we may not; we dont know. But right now were looking at these two individuals.

He said that the F.B.I. had interviewed 400 people, and he asked for patience from the public as the agency seeks to untangle the origins and motivations of the attack on the Inland Regional Center, which also wounded 21 people. He said that the F.B.I. was still building profiles of the suspects and of the people around them. That takes time, he said. This is day five.

After the attack last week, the F.B.I. arrived with a search warrant and took video surveillance footage at the Riverside Magnum Range near San Bernardino, where Mr. Farook practiced firing. John Galletta, a firearms instructor at the range, confirmed that Mr. Farook had visited, but he did not say if he had been coming regularly. Mr. Galletta said he had not seen Mr. Farooks wife at the range. A fuller portrait of Ms. Malik emerged in Pakistan, where she completed a degree in pharmacology at Bahauddin Zakariya University in Multan.

The question we are trying to get at is how did that happen and by whom, and where did it happen, Mr. Bowdich said. The federal authorities also disclosed that investigators had recovered 19 types of pipes in the couples home that could have been made into bombs, an increase from the 12 earlier identified.

John E. DAngelo, the special assistant agent in charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said that Mr. Farook used his name to legally buy three of the guns seized after the attacke. Two other weapons were bought by Enrique Marquez, a former neighbor of his family in Riverside.

Officials said they were investigating how Mr. Farook ended up with the guns. Mr. Bowdich declined to say if Mr. Marquez, whose home has been searched twice in recent days by federal agents, was a suspect.
