The honeymoon is a real blast.
Via CBSN:
A Pakistani woman’s role as a shooter in the San Bernardino massacre is raising fears that foreign-born brides who support the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, could marry Americans to come to the U.S. to carry out extremist missions.
Experts in jihad, immigration lawyers and former U.S. diplomats say there’s no sign other foreign brides have sought Western marriages to launch attacks, and it’s still not clear if 29-year-old Tashfeen Malik did so. But, they warn, that could change, especially if ISIS militants begin actively encouraging women to join men in attacks in the West.
The FBI believes Malik was radicalized before she met her husband, Syed Farook, CBS News correspondent Margaret Brennan reports.
The State Department said Malik was thoroughly questioned during an interview at the U.S. Embassy in Pakistan, Brennan reports. She also filled out a questionnaire, where she was asked “Do you seek to engage in terrorist activity?” and “Are you a member of a terrorist organization?”
Five U.S. agencies also vetted her, checking her fingerprints against two databases, Brennan reports. Neither her name nor image showed up on a U.S. terror watch list.
