BOSTON – Massachusetts will receive an estimated $120 million in federal disaster relief tied to the pummeling with snow that the state endured last winter, the largest award of public assistance disaster funding in the state's history.
Gov. Charlie Baker announced the aid at the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency bunker in Framingham on Wednesday afternoon. Nearly $60 million will be earmarked for reimbursements to cities and towns to cover the cost of snow removal, flooding and other expenses.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The two San Bernardino shooters became radicalized at least two years ago — well before one of them came to the U.S. on a fiancée visa — and had discussed jihad and martyrdom as early as 2013, FBI Director James Comey said Wednesday in providing the most specific details to date about the couple's path toward extremism.
Investigators are also looking at whether the husband accused in the shootings, Syed Rizwan Farook, had planned an attack in 2012 but abandoned those plans, according to two people familiar with the investigation who were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
