Friend who bought guns ‘accomplice’

                           The man who bought the rifles used in the San Bernardino attack pleaded
not guilty Wednesday to charges in a federal indictment accusing him of conspiring with one of the shooters and to provide material support to terrorists.                        

Enrique Marquez Jr., 24, faces a jury trial Feb. 23.

According to the FBI, during 10 days of interviews Marquez revealed plots he and his friend, Syed Rizwan Farook, discussed but never carried out to slaughter students at a community college and murder motorists on a congested freeway.

Marquez was not involved in the killings, but his failure to warn authorities about Farook and his purchase of the guns had deadly consequences. The two grew up beside each other. Farook, 28, introduced Marquez to Islam as a teen and indoctrinated him in violent extremism, said the FBI.
