After the mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., on Dec. 2 that left 14 people dead, details are starting to emerge about the two shooters. Here's what we know about Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik. (The Washington Post)
The attackers who killed 14 people in San Bernardino last week were discussing jihad at least two years before they opened fire in California, the FBI director said Wednesday.
The husband-and-wife duo “were radicalized for quite a long time before their attack,” FBI Director James B. Comey said during an appearance on Capitol Hill. This follows earlier statements by investigators that the shooters had both been adherents to a radical strain of Islam long before the massacre last week.
Syed Rizwan Farook, a 28-year-old county health inspector, and his Pakistani wife, Tashfeen Malik, 29, had begun communicating online, Comey said. It was during these communications that they began discussing jihadist thoughts, long before Malik traveled to the United States and they got married.

How did we not catch these assholes?
Pretty much nails it.
Note the article totally downplays the role of saudi arabia where she lived most of her life. Lets pretend she was radicalized in Pakistan. 90% of the radicals have a saudi connection.
