From nbc news World Headquarters in new york, this is nbc nightly news with kate snow. Good evening. Four days after the trauma of San Bernardino, were beginning to get a fuller picture now of the young married couple who walked into that Conference Center and opened fire. Tashfeen maliks friends and relatives describe her as private and conservative, but that she never appeared extreme in her beliefs. The father of syed farook says his son was obedient, a mamas boy, what was also deeply religious. He said his son supported isis ideology. Tonight there are questions about those who knew the couple, particularly farooks mother, who lived with them. Later this evening, the president will address the nation from the oval office to update americans on the investigation, but also to try and calm fears. Were following many developments tonight. We begin with National Correspondent Miguel Almaguer once more in San Bernardino. Miguel . Reporter kate, good evening. The shooters family home has been a focal point for investigators. Federal agents have swept through every room in this property looking for every piece of information and detail they can find. They have interviewed neighbors. They have interviewed family members. Tonight for the first time, were hearing from the gunmans father. Syed farook, the man whose shooting spree left 14 dead and 21 wounded, was described as an angel but a shy conservative young man by his father. Speaking to an italian newspaper, syed farook sr. Said his son, born in chicago to pakistani parents, later in life became obsessed against israel. And, quote, shared isis leader al baghdadis ideology. He said, one time i saw him with a gun. I got angry. 45 years in the united states. I yelled at him. Ive never had a gun. Syed shrugged his shoulders and answered, your loss. Estranged from his son, farook sr. Says he cant come to peace with what has happened. My life here is over. We have at least 20 victims. Reporter farook carried out the attack with his pakistani wife, Tashfeen Malik. The couple lived with their 6monthold daughter and his mother in a home loaded with bombs, weapons, and ammunition. Attorney general Loretta Lynch pressed by chuck todd on what farooks mother may have known. I cant speak to that fact of the investigation. Obviously its something were looking at very, very closely. Reporter an overnight raid in southern california, the fbi storming the home of syed farooks childhood friend enrique marquez. Agents ripping open a garage door, walking away with evidence, but unable to interview marquez, who bought the assault rifles used in the massacre years ago and were later obtained by farook. Marquez is not a suspect. He was farooks neighbor. Tonight the fbi also focusing on the digital footprint the shooters tried to destroy. Investigators are looking at major social media platforms like facebook and twitter, as well as where jihadis could c congregate online to see whether or not these folks had accounts on there. Reporter today marks four days since the shooting. Those of all faiths remember the victims. We pray for the family of sierra clayborn. Reporter sierra clayborn was just 27. Her parents dreamed of her wedding. Today theyre planning her funeral. She was my sunshine. She always made me happy in times when i should have been crying. She made me laugh. Reporter after raiding the family home, the fbi interviewed several members of farooks family, including his mother, for several hours. She has obtained an attorney. Her Attorney Says shes working with investigators and will likely be questioned again. Tomorrow there will be a custody hearing for their 6monthold baby daughter. Farooks family is looking for custody of that child. Kate, we should footnote tonight, there are still seven people in the hospital being treated for their injuries. Kate . Important to remember that. Miguel almaguer reporting from San Bernardino. Meanwhile from pakistan, people are gaining more insight tonight into the female shooting suspect, Tashfeen Malik, who spent years living in that country and studying there. Nbcs bill neely is in islamabad tonight with that part of the story. Reporter from the home where she once lived, to the college where she earned a pharmacy degree, there is no hint that Tashfeen Malik would end her life as a gunwielding terrorist. Investigators in pakistan have drawn a blank. There is no link, says its interior minister, between her and extremists in pakistan. Malik was private and religious. Her pakistani Identity Card has one of her few public photographs. Reports say she destroyed other photos that showed her without a veil. At college, she was devoutly muslim but no supporter of islamist violence. Anyone who knows her cant expect that she can do such a thing. We were like, no, it cant be true. Reporter she spent five years at college in pakistan after growing up in saudi arabia. The University Spokesman is adamant, malik was not radicalized there. Radical approach or radicalminded culture. There is nothing like that. Reporter Tashfeen Malik is a complete mystery to intelligence agencies here in pakistan. She wasnt on any Government Watch list. Shed never done anything wrong, either here or in saudi arabia. She was from here, but as a terrorist, she sprang from nowhere. Her family in pakistan is shocked. I cant believe it, says a relative, she must have been influenced by someone. Malik pledged allegiance to the leader of isis on facebook just before the massacre. It seems no one suspected. She was like the girl next door. You know, the sweet, innocent kind. The kind thats always smiling. You know, nice to you. You would never, ever guess that that girl would have ties to isis. Reporter theres no evidence isis directed her or even knew who she was. Pakistans most radical mosque, where other women pledged allegiance to isis, denies any links with her. Its not clear whether she radicalized her husband or the other way around. Either way, both took up arms and became mass murderers together. Well, her background here tells us who she was but not how or why she went from a softly spoken suburban mom with a 6monthold daughter to a massed killer dressed in black. Her life is such a mystery. We may never know all the answers. Kate . Bill neely in pakistan tonight. As we said at the top of the show, president obama will address the nation in a rare primetime address a little over one hour from now about how he plans to keep the country safe from terrorists. A new Msnbc Telemundo poll taken before the attack illustrates some of that fear that exists. 36 of americans said their biggest worry was a terrorist attack. 31 said it was gun violence. Nbcs ron allen is at the white house tonight with more on the president s address. Ron . Reporter good evening, kate. This may be a defining moment for the president. Widely criticized for underestimating the threat of terrorism. The president will try to reassure the public that everything is being done to keep america safe. That the u. S. And its Coalition Partners are stepping up the fight against isis in iraq and syria. We expect the president to tell us the latest about what happened in San Bernardino, what he knows about any connection to isis, and how this latest attack fits into the overall fight of global terrorism. Earlier today, the attorney general spoke about that on meet the press. This indicates the evolving nature of the threat that we are seeing. We have come from a time of the largescale planned al qaedastyle attacks to the encouragement of lone wolves, to the encouragement of people to act on their own. Reporter the administration especially concerned about extremists using social media. They expect the president to talk about tightening the visa process getting into this country. Finally, we believe the president will push for tougher gun laws, something he was criticized for following San Bernardino when he was reluctant to call the tragedy that happened there terrorism. Kate . All right, ron allen. Thanks. You can watch the president s address here on nbc tonight at 8 00 eastern time. There are security concerns as well tonight in london, where Counterterrorism Police are investigating a stabbing attack in which two people were wounded by a man with a knife. It happened at a subway station, and a suspect is in custody. We get more tonight from nbcs keir simmons. Reporter two Police Officers take down an assailant with a knife who had just attacked an apparently random victim in a subway station. Video of the dramatic moment posted on social media. The victim was shouting and screams, please, somebody help me, somebody help me. Reporter with britain on high alert for terrorism, there was panic. The words witnesses say the attacker used spreading fear. I heard him say, this is for syria. Reporter just last week, britains lawmakers voted to join the u. S. Led air campaign against isis in syria. As the attacker was led away, members of the public shouted, youre not muslim. The slogan that today began trending on social media. We are treating this as a terrorist incident, a Police Commander said in a statement. This subject has been arrested, in custody. We need to examine the evidence. Reporter if it was terrorism, it appears to have been another lone wolf attack just days after San Bernardino. The 56yearold commuter suffered serious knife wounds. Doctors say his injuries are not life threatening, but in these anxious times, one man with a knife caused terror. Keir simmons, nbc news, london. Here in this country, a new protest in chicago today following the release of hundreds of pages of Police Reports on the shooting death of 17yearold laquan mcdonald. The reports filed by officers who witnessed the shooting more than a year ago contradict what is seen in a recently released Police Dash Cam video. Officer Jason Van Dyk has pleaded not guilty to murder in this case. Tonight Law Enforcement Officials Say the Justice Department plans to open an investigation into the Chicago Police department, looking at whether theres a pattern of civil rights violations. Some highly encouraging news tonight from former president jimmy carter 3 1 2 months after he revealed he was being treated for cancer that had spread to his brain. Today he announced hes cancer free. We get more on this from nbcs gabe gutierrez. Reporter jimmy carter had not let his stage four cancer diagnosis stop him from Teaching Sunday School in georgia, but today he stunned the congregation when he mentioned his latest mri. When i went this week, they didnt find any cancer at all. So good news. Reporter that good news traveled fast. Carters grandson tweeted, victory. It was a early, wonderful christmas present. My grin was bigger than president carters famous grin. Reporter this summer, the former president had a small cancerous mass removed from his liver. Then they found a mass in his brain, leading to this announcement in august. Theyre very small spots. Reporter still, that discovery often comes with a poor prognosis. But experts say president carter benefitted from early detection. He began rigorous treatment that included highly targeted radiation and a new drug. They had developed a new medicine. I want all of you to remember that name, if you will. Reporter its better known as its brand name, keytruda. The fda approved it last year for patients with advanced melanoma. Its difficult to say which treatment was the real effective one here. I think in combination, for president carter, theyve been a great success. This is actually very positive news that this good of an outcome as someone with advanced mel know that can hope for. Reporter carter never let up, recently finishing a bookstore and working with habitat for humanity. While doctors stress its difficult to label someone completely cancer free, carters hometown is grateful. Jan williams taught his daughter in class. Hes used his cancer as a teaching tool that we all need check ups. Reporter they came expecting a sunday School Lesson and left with so much more. Officials say the former president will continue his drug treatments, but the sentiment here is probably best summed up by the former White House Communications director. He told the Washington Post today that from the very beginning, ive said that in any battle between cancer and carters brain, carters brain will win. Kate .
