Is there a big movie about to premiere? If that's what was happening they'd want the theatre as crowded as possible.
Chiraq?

It could have been sent just as they were entering the building.
First I've heard of this.
The attackers who killed 14 at a San Bernardino holiday party had set up a bomb-making factory in their home garage and planned to use Christmas tree lights to set off their explosives, according to documents obtained by NBC News.

Just a little movie called Star Wars. Scary stuff. Opening day is sold out in many theaters.

"The bureau, however, has uncovered evidence that Mr. Farook had contact with five individuals on whom the F.B.I. had previously opened investigations for possible terrorist activities, law enforcement officials said. All five inquiries was closed, and the contacts were made a few years ago, not recently, the authorities said.
One individual contacted was associated with the Shabab, the Islamist militant group in Somalia. Another was associated with the Nusra Front, the Qaeda wing in Syria. None of the other three were tied to the Islamic State or core Al Qaeda.
Mr. Comey said the F.B.I. is re-examining those contacts, but added, “I would urge you not to make too much of that.”"
On another thought. Given the information about the theater casing by middle eastern males along with the fact that the suspects did not ditch the vehicle, wipe the vehicle, and remove the contents in effort to dissociate themselves from the crime spells out a larger planned event. Fortunately witnesses gave good information and the suspects were caught and exterminated before causing more carnage. I think the likelihood that this was bigger than we know is strong. Also I think given the information we now know, the likelihood that there were more suspects is in play as well.

I don't think it is beyond the pale of possibility that the suspects second target was the movie theatre during a busy showing. Would this not make sense given their vehicle being stocked with so much ammo and the possibility that that they would hit an evening showing due to larger crowds? Any one know where this theater is in proximity to the suspect's home? Do you agree?

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. The FBI announced Friday that it is investigating the mass shooting in Southern California as an act of terrorism, while a U.S. law enforcement official revealed that the woman who helped her husband carry out the attack had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group and its leader on Facebook under an alias.
The movie theater bit is sooooo amateurish, it comes across as a feint, a smokescreen. I mean, hello, ever heard of moviefone? And gosh, they aren't funded well enough so that someone can go to see something fairly innocuous, like, let's say the new Alvin and the Chipmunks Movie, or The Good Dinosaur, I mean something without too many babes and guns and those decadent American values. And check out the entrances and exits and . . . heck, you could even do it as a "family" group! I mean, kinda "undercover"? Nothing like a Middle Eastern man asking pointed questions to get suspicions up!
they found them??
