Islamic extremists ignored contact attempts by wife in California shooting: sources Posted: 10 Dec 2015 04:08 PM PST WASHINGTON/SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (Reuters) - Islamic militant groups ignored contact attempts from Pakistan-born Tashfeen Malik in the months before she and her husband killed 14 people at a California holiday party, probably because they feared getting caught in a U.S. law enforcement sting, U.S. government sources said on Thursday. Disclosures of her overtures to extremists abroad surfaced as the investigation of the Dec. 2 shooting rampage in San Bernardino, about 60 miles (100 km) east of Los Angeles, took a new turn with divers searching a small lake near the scene of the massacre. One source said investigators have little, if any, evidence that Malik or her husband, Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, had any direct contact with Islamic State, which has seized control of large swaths of Syria and Iraq and claimed responsibility for assaults in Paris last month that left 130 people dead.

House blocks effort to force vote on gun legislation Posted: 10 Dec 2015 03:58 PM PST The Republican-run House of Representatives on Thursday blocked a Democratic effort to consider bipartisan gun control legislation in the wake of repeated, highly publicized mass shootings in the United States. Voting along party lines by 242 to 173, the House blocked the effort by Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to bring to the floor a bill that would allow the government to ban suspected terrorists from legally purchasing guns. "It is shocking to the American people that Congress refuses to keep guns out of the hands of those on the FBI's terrorist watch list," Pelosi said, arguing for consideration of the bill by Representative Peter King, a Republican, and co-sponsored by many Democrats.

Armed suspect taken into custody at Arkansas State University Posted: 10 Dec 2015 04:26 PM PST By Steve Barnes LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Reuters) - An armed man crashed a pickup truck carrying propane tanks on the campus of Arkansas State University on Thursday and was taken into custody by police after a standoff lasting about an hour, school officials said, adding that no one was injured. The suspect was identified as Brad Bartelt, 47, a former student at a separate campus of Arkansas State, the university's police chief said, adding that a motive was not yet known. At one point Bartelt, who was brandishing a shotgun, was splashing gasoline from the container over his truck, Police Chief Randy Martin told a news conference.
