Farook traveled to Saudi Arabia for two weeks in July 2014 to pick up his fiance, Malik, who is Pakistani, a law enforcement source told CBS News. Malik received a K1 Visa, known as a fiance visa, a U.S. official told CBS News. It’s unclear when the visa was issued.

A source told CBS News that the [sic] were looking at ISIS propaganda online.

“We’re very involved in terms of trying to see if the motive was something inspired by a terrorist organization or directly by a terrorist organization, or whether [Farook] was self-radicalized,” said a federal law enforcement source to the L.A. Times.

According to authorities, there is no credible information about another immediate threat.
