Who is Tashfeen Malik, the ‘black widow’ of San Bernardino shootings?
By Mark Ellis, Special to ASSIST News Service
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (ANS - December 4, 2015)
-- She made a pledge of allegiance to ISIS sometime during the rampage
that killed 14 people Wednesday, the mysterious young woman whose
ideology overpowered her maternal instincts.
Tashfeen
Malik was born in Pakistan and moved to Saudi Arabia 25 years ago when
she was about four years old. When she was older, she apparently moved
back and forth between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, a source close to the
Saudi Arabian government told ABC News.
In
2007, she returned to Pakistan to study at Bahuddin Zakri University in
Multan and stayed until 2012, a Pakistani intelligence official told
ABC. She was a top student and was not known for extreme religious or
political attachments in school.
Malik
met Syed Rizwan Farook, an American of Pakistani origin, on a dating
website, a lawyer for Farook’s family told reporters. Farook may have
met Malik or her family in Saudi Arabia during a trip there in the fall
of 2013, authorities told ABC.
After
a second trip in July 2014, Farook and Malik returned to the U.S. as an
engaged couple. They were married the following month.
Malik
entered the U.S. on a “fiancé” visa, which allows an American fiancé to
petition for his or her partner’s temporary entry prior to marriage.
For the visa application, the address she listed in her Pakistani
hometown, ABC learned, does not exist. Malik received her Green Card
this summer, U.S. officials said.
The fiancé visa appears to be a loophole in the legal immigration system exploited by the terror couple in this instance.
