Attorney General Loretta Lynch said on Sunday that the FBI is looking to Rafia Farook (pictured), who lived in the same home in Redlands, California, as her son, Syed Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik.
The FBI is now investigating exactly how much the mother of one of the San Bernardino shooters knew about last Wednesday’s holiday party attack that left 14 innocent people dead.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch said on Sunday that the FBI is looking to Rafia Farook, who lived in the same home in Redlands, California, where her son, Syed Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, built pipe bombs and stored thousands of rounds of ammunition.
‘Obviously it’s something that we’re looking at very, very closely,’ Lynch told NBC’s Meet the Press when asked if Rafia Farook may have known about the shooting.
In a press conference on Friday, attorneys David Chesley and Mohammed Abuershaid, who represent the Farook family, said that Rafia had been extensively questioned by the FBI following the shooting on Wednesday.
