HeadlineDec 14, 2015

Funerals continued over the weekend for the 14 people killed in the San Bernardino, California, shooting attacks by Tashfeen Malik and her husband Syed Rizwan Farook. The New York Times reports Malik passed three background checks by U.S. immigration authorities as she moved from Pakistan to the United States, despite her posts on social media saying she wanted to take part in violent jihad. Immigration authorities say they don’t routinely review social media as part of the background check process.
