Attacker pledged allegiance to ISIS
2015-12-05
[CNN] Investigators think that as the San Bernardino, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, massacre was happening, female shooter Tashfeen Malik posted a pledge of allegiance to ISIS leader His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us...
on Facebook, three U.S. officials familiar with the investigation told CNN.

Malik's post was made on an account with a different name, one U.S. official said. The officials did not explain how they knew Malik made the post.

A law enforcement official said it appeared that Wednesday's mass shooting -- which left 14 people dead and 21 maimed before the two attackers, Malik and her husband, Syed Rizwan Farook, were killed in a shootout with police -- may have been inspired by ISIS.

But none of the officials said that ISIS directed or ordered the attack. ISIS has called for people worldwide to launch attacks in its name, but isn't known to have claimed credit for what happened in San Bernardino.

At a Friday presser, FBI official David Bowdich said authorities are officially investigating the massacre as "an act of terrorism."

Bowdich said a number of pieces of evidence pushed authorities to launch a terrorism investigation. He noted some phone conversations between at least one of the San Bernardino shooters and other people are being investigated by federal officials.

#1  At a Friday presser, FBI official David Bowdich said authorities are officially investigating the massacre as "an act of terrorism."

It'll be classified as "workplace violence," because none of the bombs on-scene went off.
