| The couple that carried out the attack: Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik |
Latest investigations have revealed that Tashfeen Malik, the female perpetrator of the San Benardino, California shooting that killed 14 people and injured 21 others on Wednesday (December 2, 2015), had pledged allegiance to ISIS using an alias on Facebook. She then deleted the Facebook messages just before the deadly attack.
Tashfeen Malik, alongside her husband, Syed Farook, opened fire at a christmas gathering in a disability health centre where Syed worked. They both were eventually killed in a
shoot-out with the police after a car chase.
Tashfeen is a Pakistani national who migrated to the USA to live with her in 2014 on a fiancee visa before she and Farook got married in California.
This remarkable disclosure about her online activities is expected to shed some light into the motive behind the deadly attack by the couple as no significant detail has emerged till now. Although, ISIS has not claimed responsibility for the attack.
