Did Tashfeen Malik visit India?
The Pakistani woman suspect in the California mass shooting may have travelled to India from Saudi Arabia once in 2013, a year before she came to the US with her husband, a media report said Tuesday
New York
Tashfeen Malik, 27, had visited Saudi Arabia twice, the New York Times quoted a Saudi Interior Ministry official as saying. After one of the visits to the kingdom, she had left for India, the report said. The report quoted Saudi Interior Ministry spokesman Mansour Turki as saying that Malik had arrived in Saudi Arabia in June 2008 from Pakistan to visit her father and stayed for about nine weeks before returning to Pakistan.
“Then on June 8, 2013, she arrived from Pakistan, and departed for India on October 6 of the same year,” Turki was quoted as saying in a media report. But there is no further detail about whether Malik had reached India or for how long and where in India she stayed.
Her past
Details of her life before arriving in the US are emerging. Reports said she had grown up in Saudi Arabia and had been influenced by its deeply conservative interpretation of Islam.
