their home along with small explosive devices strapped on to remote control cars. it this is one of the reasons they had a larger more violent attack planned down the track. i want you to take a look at what it is that investigators found inside the home. 12 pipe bombingings, hundreds of ied tools, more material the from bomb making, 2,000 9 millimeter rounds and 2500 223 rounds and several hundred 22 rifle rounds. he had been in touch with social media with extremists who was on the fbi s radar. tashfeen malik was on a fiancee visa from pakistan. they deleted e-mail accounts and deleted hard drives and smashed cell phones to try to erase their digital footprint one day before the attack. i talked to one of the husbands
you re on the other side of this and want to weigh into the united states. in february i said they had moved from the aspirational stage to the operational stage and if you re on the other side thinking how will you do this and reach out and touch the united states, we ve seen efforts, there is over 50 people already arrested this year for many of them making plans, taking steps towards hurting us. if you re on the other side of this and looking how am i going to do this, really a very easy way to do it is find a woman who has a deep commitment to this and is willing to make the full sacrifice and put her in a position where you train her for bomb making and paris style attack and get her on the internet or at a place where people congregate for religious tourism in saudi arabia and hook them up with a person that is that they could influence. this does not stretch the
