Facebook’s Connection to the San Bernardino Massacre

Attorneys for the family of the terrorists who killed 14 people in San Bernardino on Wednesday, claimed that one of the assailants, Tashfeen Malik, was “a typical housewife” who was “assimilating fine” in the year that she had been in the U.S.

Tashfeen Malik and her husband, Syed Rizwan Farook, burst into a holiday party for the environmental health department in San Bernardino on Wednesday and opened fire.

But authorities have yet to publicly declare the 355th mass shooting in the United State this year as terrorism.

USA 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.

“The reason for that is that the investigation so far has developed indications of radicalisation by the killers and of potential inspiration by foreign terrorist organisations”, FBI Director James Comey told reporters during a joint news conference with the US Attorney General Loretta E Lynch.

Bowdich said they have learned Malik and her husband, Syed Farook, did extensive planning before the attack.

Straight after the attack, on December 3, when the two shooters were still unidentified and on the run, debkafile’s counterterrorism sources inferred from the comment by an anonymous federal officer that “one of the shooters is an American citizen whose identity is known” that USA intelligence had been onto Farook.

At the home agents discovered almost 5,000 rounds of ammunition, a dozen pipe bombs and hundreds of tools for making improvised explosive devices at the property. The wife was believed to have pledged allegiance to an Islamic State leader. The couple left their 6-month-old daughter with Farook’s mother before the slaughter.

Police said Farook, 28, was a San Bernardino County restaurant inspector, born in Chicago to Pakistani parents. What the landlord found was signs of a police raid, but otherwise, kids items and evidence of the life of a family that looked as if they meant to come back. And you left that kid behind…
