But in better news, Mr Drayton told the community meeting in Torquay on Saturday morning that people could now return to Lorne . The fires started with a lightning strike on December 19 and, fanned by winds, have already burned more than 2,000 hectares.
Marquez was also charged in US District Court on Thursday with the unlawful purchase of the guns used in the Dec 2 shootings carried out by US-born Farook and his Pakistani wife, Tashfeen Malik, as well as the purchase of some of the explosive material used in the attack.
Rooney insists Man U ‘fighting’ for under-fire Van Gaal
United have failed to win any of their last six games. “We have focused ourselves to do that but it is not easy”. United head to the Britannia Stadium without a win in six outings, form which has heaped pressure on Van Gaal.

“In early 2011, Marquez continued to listen to additional lectures and materials by [al-Awlaki]”, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said, and later that year, Farook and Marquez pored over Inspire magazine, produced by al-Awlaki’s al Qaeda affiliate in Yemen.

Though Marquez worked a couple nights a month at the bar for years, Morgan said the relationship he had with him was superficial – an arm’s-length familiarity stemming from casual conversation.

In 2011, Marquez said he spent much of his time at Farook’s home, consuming a steady diet of extremist thought.
The FBI said Farook and Malik were supporters of Islamic State, the violent group that has taken over large parts of Syria and Iraq, and that they had discussed martyrdom online before they even met.
November 2014 – Marquez marries a Russian woman whose sister is married to Farook’s brother.
But during the next year, Marquez began to distance himself from Farook for various reasons, including some terrorism-related arrests that made headlines, the affidavit states. Apparently it was a marriage of convenience, and a sham in order to get the woman in question American citizenship.
Marquez also said he no longer wanted Farook as a friend. Marquez was paid $200 a month to stay married to her so she could retain legal status.

When his mother visited him at the hospital two days later after the shootings, her son again referred to Syed Rizwan Farook by an expletive and said he did not know “he was going to do that”, Anderson said in the affidavit. Marquez would shoot from a nearby hillside, targeting police, as Farook fired at drivers from the road. “Very sorry guys. It was a pleasure”, the Los Angeles Times reported.
