The father of the suspected San Bernardino gunman has been placed on the FBI watch list.

In an interview over the weekend, 66-year old Syed Farook––whose son Syed Rizwan Farook and daughter-in-law Tashfeen Malik are the primary suspects in last week’s deadly rampage that killed 14 and injured 21 — reportedly discussed how his son “shared [ISIS leader Abu Bakr] Al Baghdadi’s ideology and supported the creation of the Islamic State.”

…An official told ABC News that the suspect’s father has been flagged by government agencies. “The FBI has identified [the younger Farook] as a known terrorist,” the official said, adding that even though the suspect is deceased, he is still considered a terrorist to federal agents.

“His father is an immediate family member who spent extended periods of time in Pakistan. He’s watch listed,” the official added.

Syed Farook moved to the US in 1972, and became a naturalized citizen in 1999.

    Only the federal government can come to this sort of conclusion…reclassify a dead guy…he is dead ..as a terrorist …so that NOW they can claim they knew it.. and this BRILLIANT deduction…the father is on the watch list because the son flipped out ………these idiots couldn’t find their way out of a paperbag with a map and a flashlight…..and the NSA wants more data??? For what ???With this collection of idiots running the show…use your crystal ball

      I still can’t believe they let civilians enter the shooters’ apartment so soon after the event.

        I think the family will have the last laugh on that and the landlord will learn a very expensive lesson

          I don’t think terrorists ..even dead ones…have a right to privacy…they give that up when they kill people….

            The apt and the contents go to the family…not the vultures from the press

              agree that it does not belong to the press…what belongs to the public is the right to know….

      In Vietnam, you could tell the VC by whether or not we killed them. Dead = VC.
