Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik Built Bombs Using Instructions from al-Qaeda Magazine (VIDEO)

At the Palm Springs Desert Sun, "FBI checking Al Qaeda link to San Bernardino shooting":

The FBI is investigating whether there's a connection between the San Bernardino shooters and Al Qaeda.

The shooters, Syed Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 27, had a dozen pipe bombs in their Redlands home and carried three other bombs that were combined into a single device, authorities said Thursday morning.

David Bowdich, assistant director of the FBI's Los Angeles office, said officials are checking whether the bombs were built using directions from an Al Qaeda online magazine, "Inspire."

The magazine is written in English and targets American and European readers.

Wednesday's attack would be reminiscent of the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing. Brothers Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and Tamerlan Tsarnaev built a pressure cooker bomb using instructions found in "Inspire."
