U.S. Visa Process Missed San Bernardino Attacker's Online Posts 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
Funerals continued over the weekend for the 14 people killed in the San
Bernardino, California, shooting attacks by Tashfeen Malik and her
husband Syed Rizwan Farook. The New York Times reports Malik passed
three background checks by U.S. immigration authorities as she moved
from Pakistan to the United States, despite her posts on social media
saying she wanted to take part in violent jihad. Immigration authorities
say they don't routinely review social media as part of the background
check process.
