The terrorists who killed 14 people in San Bernardino, California recently received a $28,500 deposit just weeks before the attack, according to a source close to the investigation.

The anonymous source told Fox News that the deposit was made into Syed Rizwan Farook’s bank account from the website WebBank.com around November 18, about two weeks before Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik carried out the attack.

Farook earned $53,000 a year as an environmental health inspector.

The attack took place at a holiday party for county health employees.

Investigators are exploring whether the transaction was a loan taken out by Farook, with another possibility being that the money was used to reimburse Enrique Marquez, the man who bought the two AR-15 rifles used in the shootings.
