San Bernardino terrorist Syed Rizwan Farook and his neighbor Enrique Marquez planned a terror attack years ago that would likely have left dozens dead and others wounded if carried out successfully.
Farook and his wife attacked a holiday party in California earlier this month, killing 14 people and wounding 21 others.
Marquez has become the focus of authorities after they discovered he bought the two assault rifles used in the terror attack.
Federal officials said in an affidavit that Marquez told them he and Farook had carefully planned another attack back in 2011.
The pair planned to throw pipe bombs into the cafeteria at Riverside Community College “to maximize casualties,” Marquez said. Then, he and Farook planned to shoot survivors around the cafeteria and library.
They also plotted out an attack on the 91 Freeway that involved stopping traffic by throwing pipe bombs during rush hour traffic.
After the traffic stopped, Farook planned to walk among the vehicle and kill survivors while Marquez watched from a nearby hill and then took out police and other emergency responders.
