The FBI is investigating whether Syed Rizwan Farook and a neighbor intended to commit an act of terror in about 2012 and then got spooked, a senior law enforcement official said Wednesday.
The two men may have been disrupted when the FBI arrested several men in late 2012 in a separate plot to kill Americans in Afghanistan.In addition, Farook and his wife, who killed 14 people in San Bernardino last week, had discussed jihad at least two years before they opened fire in California, the FBI director said Wednesday.
