Another U.S. official, recounting a conversation with intelligence officials, said, “Don’t be surprised if you find a foreign nexus . . . They’re looking at some tell-tale signs and they’re saying it’s pointing in that direction.”

Officials cautioned that even if the investigation points toward an international link, rather than domestic or anti-government groups, that does not mean al-Qaeda or another terrorist organizations is necessarily involved.
