Source: Reuters

A former neighbour of the San Bernardino shooters who is accused of supplying assault rifles to the couple has been charged in a grand jury indictment with conspiring to provide material support to terrorists.

The indictment issued on Wednesday accuses Enrique Marquez, 24, with conspiring with San Bernardino gunman Syed Rizwan Farook in 2011 and 2012 to support a terrorist attack that was never carried out, as well as making false statements to federal authorities about the purchase of two assault rifles used in the deadly shooting.

Marquez is also charged with entering into a sham marriage with a member of Farook’s extended family.

The indictment supersedes a criminal complaint filed earlier this month.
