Melech 9,900 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 "One of two people accused of killing 14 in California apparently pledged allegiance to a leader of Islamic State militant group, two U.S. government sources said on Friday, as intelligence officials in her native Pakistan pressed the investigation overseas. Tashfeen Malik, 27, and her husband, Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, were killed in a shootout with police hours after the Wednesday massacre at the Inland Regional Center social services agency in San Bernardino, about 60 miles (100 km) east of Los Angeles. The attack was the deadliest mass shooting the United States has experienced in three years. U.S. investigators are evaluating evidence that Malik, a Pakistani native who had been living in Saudi Arabia when she married Farook, had pledged allegiance to Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, two U.S. officials told Reuters. They said the finding, if confirmed, could be a "game changer" in the investigation. Pakistani intelligence officials have contacted Malik's family in her homeland as part of the investigation, a family member said. "I only found out about this tragedy today when some intelligence officials contacted me to ask me about my links with Tashfeen," Malik's uncle, Javed Rabbani, said in an interview. "I had heard in the news that this tragedy had taken place but I could never even imagine that it would be someone from my family. Of course, we are in shock." He said his brother, Malik's father, had become considerably more conservative since moving with his family to Saudi Arabia a quarter century ago. Tashfeen Malik had moved back to Pakistan five or six years ago to study pharmacy, Pakistani officials said. CNN reported on Friday that one U.S. official said Malik had pledged allegiance to al-Baghdadi in a posting on Facebook made on Wednesday, the day of the attack, under an account that used a different name. The attack appeared to be inspired by, but not necessarily directed by Islamic State, CNN reported, citing unnamed sources."

SlaeUrAnus 16,111 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 This would not surprise me. I just wonder that they 'got' out of murdering 14 innocent civilians. Just to earn some praise by some scum terror group? Brainwashed beyond belief cost them their lives along with undeservedly taking 14 others with them. Poor child too, growing up with no parents eventually knowing they picked terrorism over him. In my messy era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lego 44,165 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Yeah they said she pledged allegiance on Facebook under different name, how do you do that on Facebook btw? How come they don't talk about 3rd suspect anymore? If he's on the loose, wouldn't they reveal some details if anyone sees him? FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 109,645 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Not surprised. After the France attacks there were bound to be copycat attacks. ISIS sympathizers are a ticking bomb waiting to explode. Sad that now everyone will live in extra caution. Can't go anywhere without the thought that someone might come in and shoot up the place to get praise from this terrorist group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispering 18,865 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Scary...and it could have been worse, if the bomb they planted would have gone off to kill those who were wounded and quite possibly harm first responders as well. Their vehicle was packed with guns, rounds of ammunition and bombs. I can't even imagine what would have happened if they had made it to another destination. Was a mother-in-law living with them? If she was, she had to have known all this was going on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJHolland 12,725 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Of course they were, not that surprised. Also Cali has some of the stricter gun laws in the nation, yet they had over 5 thousand rounds of ammo. Crazy people are going to do crazy sh*t whether they can easily get weapons or not.
