REVEALED: Marine murderer lost his job as nuclear engineer in Ohio after TEN DAYS for failing [View all]

Source: Daily Mail

Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez was hired as a nuclear engineer after graduating from college - but he was fired after just 10 days for failing a background check, it has been revealed.

But he made several mystery trips to the Middle East, including Yemen and a seven-month tour of Jordan last year

According to CNN, Abdulazeez Sr's charitable donations were scrutinized by the Joint Terrorism Task Force. The FBI believed the middle eastern groups he was supporting had links to terrorism but ultimately dismissed the case.

They will now re-examine the evidence in light of the terror attack although there is no suggestion Abdulazeez's father had any knowledge about his son's plot.

However, court documents exclusively obtained by dailymail.com reveal that not all was what it seemed behind the doors of the family's comfortable two-storey suburban home.
