FBI arrests brother of San Bernardino jihad murderer and 2 others

Apr 28, 2016 1:51 pm By Robert Spencer

Marquez got the killers their rifles and attended the same mosque that they attended. This was a jihad terror cell that appears to have been attempting to expand its ranks via marriage fraud.

FBI at home of Syed Raheel Farook

“FBI arrests brother of San Bernardino terrorist and 2 others on marriage fraud charges,” by Richard Winton and James Queally, Los Angeles Times, April 28, 2016:

Federal agents arrested three people, including the older brother of San Bernardino gunman Syed Rizwan Farook, on charges of marriage fraud, conspiracy and lying to federal investigators on Thursday morning, according to a criminal complaint.

Syed Raheel Farook, the brother of Syed Rizwan Farook; his wife, Tatiana Farook; and her sister Mariya Chernykh were all arrested Thursday morning and charged in a five-count indictment filed in federal court that centers around a fraudulent marriage between Chernykh and Enrique Marquez, who has been charged with aiding in the deadly Dec. 2 attack at the Inland Regional Center.

Two people were arrested at Raheel Farook’s home after the FBI conducted a search warrant Thursday morning, according to Sgt. Paul Mercado, a spokesman for the Corona Police Department. A second search warrant was served at Chernykh’s home in Ontario, federal prosecutors said.

In the course of the investigation into the terrorist attack, federal investigators determined that Marquez received money to marry Chernykh, who took part in the wedding only in order to gain legal status in the U.S. FBI agents interrogated Chernykh as part of the probe into the terror attack, and prosecutors say she lied during those interviews, saying she lived with Marquez, when she actually resided in Ontario….

      This is the immigration jihad that Robert Spencer talks about. It is happening all over the Western world because our PC politicians and left wing traitorous politicians will not state the obvious that Muslims are much more likely to commit terrorists acts in the name of their religion than our members of all other religions and atheists. Immigration is destroying the West.

    I have a great pity for these deluded souls as well as fear for the violence that ultimately always follows the members of the “Religion of Pieces” and It’s Pedophile prophet. They will spend eternity faced with the crimes that they commit in the name of a false god, who demands unspeakable acts be performed to please the demon that he is.

    How did they get away with sham marriages for this long? When I got married in 1981 to my ex wife who is born and bred in CA, I went to US immigration in Pittsburgh to get my green card. 2 officers took us seperatly and asked questions to make sure it was not a sham…..m

      1981.

      That, miriam, was before ‘islamophobia’ became a ‘crime’ much more heinous than immigration/marriage fraud, or mass murder.

      How is your brave son doing ? Best wishes, my friend.

        Thank you. He spent 4 month at Camp Hope in Houston and back. He is struggling with anxiety and bad dreams. F….mulims and Jihadists are directly responsible for my son’s issues. I HATE them. m

          You and your son are in my thoughts.

          Miriam: does he have a dog?

          If he doesn’t, perhaps he should get one. A nice calm friendly dog.

          In Australia we have discovered that traumatised soldiers with PTSD, etc, benefit greatly from having a well-trained companion dog.

          http://www.youngdiggers.com.au/dogs

          I think there are some people in the USA looking into the same sort of thing. The dog can help if the soldier or veteran is having a ‘panic episode’.

          http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/11/151111-video-rescue-dogs-war-veterans/

          You will be rediscovering the culture and wisdom of your long-ago Zoroastrian ancestors who saw the dog as an ‘angel’, a spirit guide, a friend.

          Here’s an article from the Aussie press, about dogs helping soldiers who have ptsd, etc.

    That whole damned family knew about the weapons and bombs in Farook’s house. Why have none of them been charged for conspiracy and terrorism? Especially his mother, “Granny Jihadi” who was there all the time, taking care of the baby. That witch probably had to step over the bombs to get to the crib.

    • E.L.O=0 says

      Apr 28, 2016 at 4:53 pm

      Yes! I am making the same question myself too!

    • Shmooviyet says

      Apr 28, 2016 at 5:27 pm

      Agreed.
      There was also that crowd of reporters jammed in and tramping around inside the home, rather soon after the arrests.
      The family knew nothing of what was happening out in that garage so late at night, no sir.

    • William says

      Apr 28, 2016 at 5:56 pm

      The family saw the weapons. They most likely had to step over them to move around in their house. My bet is that they will claim and plead that they didn’t know it was a problem having all those weapons in the house. Nobody, absolutely no-one told them it was illegal. Back where they come from it may not have been illegal. Therefore, they are going to blame the US for not telling them that keeping bomb materials in the house was illegal in America. After all, how were they expected to know every law in their new country.

    Who on this blog thought Farook and his wife were acting alone? None of us! So now is that Mosque going to be investigated? Mosques are hornet’s nest of evil.

    It would be really nice if these Muslims – who hate the USA do much – would stay in their own home nations!!!!

    Nobody is making them come here!!!

    • Nan Barr says

      Apr 28, 2016 at 7:43 pm

      I guess they come to the USA for several reasons and these may be the most common: for making or stealing money for funding the jihadi groups and their allies, to spread that diseased political-religion called Islam and to hurt Americans…as many as possible and in as many ways as possible.

      I do not believe that any of them is here to do good. That would be impossible to do for an Islamic, because ALL they care about is that lousy false god of theirs and the wicked Mohammed. Plus they are so tied to Koran with its ravings of a pedophile and the constant hateful drivel .

      Robert Spencer is a true hero for Americans and their genuine friends. I hope that he gets all the accolades( and funding) that he has earned for helping us to understand exactly what a mess Islam really is. I am not very good with words. I just want him to know that there are millions of us who support his work.
      If a Pakistani H-1B immigrant had not been imported to take my IT job, I might have the financial where for all to help out the cause. Of course the Obama economy is taking its toll on our family as well.

      I did educate 12 friends about islam and got them to read them some of Robert’s books on the subject. AND to read this Blog!! I guess that is a help too.

    Really good new here, I live in San Bernardino. Found out Syed’s name from my law enforcement neighbor 90 minutes after the attack and I still wonder about their certainty that there were 3 attackers. They dutifully and thoroughly destroyed their personal cell phones but didn’t care about the county phone, so presumed that there was nothing there and nothing has been reported.

    I lived in San Bernardino and in Orange County in So Calif the better part of my life retiring in the early 2000’s.
    The going rate to marry a foreigner at that time was $10,000. A woman, usually on welfare or unemployed, would receive this money in CASH and not report the income to anyone so it would NOT effect any govt. subsidy or payment. I forget how long you had to stay “married” to a foreigner before the foreigner would seek a divorce. The woman was told all the questions she might be asked and promised to say the right things. A more clever woman I knew asked for an additional $1,000 for each year of marriage and received it. After several years the Pakistani foreigner stops sending the money and she assumed he had divorced her. She however told me she never checked because she was never going to marry another man. The Welfare Dept in San Bernardino never asked her about her marriage (she assumed they never found out as she was told was usual0.The ladies were also told that if any govt. person asked them about there fake marriage, it would only be done ONCE, and then they would never be visited again. And, no govt. employee ever checked back again in the cases I was aware of.
    Was it prevalent, I don’t know. All the single Welfare mom’s used to talk about that $10,000 easy money the could get for a few days of effort.
    Only in America! Our govt. employees could care less. Never heard about a single woman getting busted for this.
