FBI: Terrorist Act carnage in California



The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating now slaughtering 14 people who allegedly committed by a married couple on the assumption that it was a "terrorist act," said member of the American federal police service today, as sources said the Tasfin Malik had sworn loyalty to the leader of the Islamic State.

Malik, 27, from Pakistan, and Sagent Rizouan Farouk, the 28 year old born in the US Her husband, killed in firefights with the police a few hours after the massacre Wednesday at a party at the social services center Inland Regional Center, at San Bernardino, about 100 km. east of Los Angeles. This attack was the most polyaimakto episode of armed violence in the US over the past three years.

The researchers reviewed data on which the Malik, who lived in Saudi Arabia when she married Farouk, swore allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of IK, said earlier two strains of the US government to Reuters news agency. This finding, if confirmed, completely changes the nature of the investigation indicated that these sources. However, another source stated that there is no evidence that IK "even knew" the existence, let alone the identity of the perpetrators of the attack.

"Based on the information and facts as we understand, we are investigating now these horrible acts under the assumption that it was a terrorist act," said David Baountits, the deputy director of the FBI office in Los Angeles, told reporters. The survey showed that Malik and Farooq were preplanned in detail the attack, he added.

According to Baountits, the FBI examines dissolved phones found near the crime scene and verified that there were "telephone communications" between the pair of offenders and other persons against whom the federal police do investigations.

The pair was equipped with two assault rifles, two semiautomatic pistols, 6,100 bullets and 12 improvised bombs. They had guns and ammunition with them to their home when they were killed, according to the authorities. A source in the US government reported that an attempt is made to determine whether, given the quantity of arms and ammunition, the couple was planning something even bigger.

The Farouk, American citizen born in Illinois by Pakistani immigrants, worked as an inspector at the County of San Bernardino. The research focuses among other things on a piece of information that the Farouk became involved in a conflict with a colleague who had denounced the "inherent dangers of Islam" before the massacre, according to the same source in the US government.

However, although the couple can commit the attack inspired by the actions of IK, so far there is no evidence to suggest that led the jihadist organization, pointed sources in the US government. The IK claimed responsibility for the attacks of 13 November in Paris that had thus killed 130 people.

The US television network CNN reported today citing a US official that Malik swore allegiance to al-Baghdadi in a post on the social networking site Facebook Wednesday, the day of the attack, through an account in which he used another name. The Baountits said it is aware of the information about this post, adding "the investigation".

The owner of the house the couple opened the lodge to the press today, resulting in a multitude fotoeidiseografon and cameramen to get massively to the property. The owner demanded later by workers in the media to leave, he had pulled images from almost all personal belongings of the couple-from toys small daughter until their photos, their computers and their peripherals.

The FBI investigation at home it did not work to find some evidence to suggest that the couple had any relationship or guidance from any terrorist organization abroad, said US government source.

Research reaches Pakistan where intelligence officers interrogated family members Malik, said a member of her family. "I discovered this tragedy when intelligence officers contacted me and asked me if I had relations with Tasfin" said an uncle, Javed Rampani. "I heard on the news about this tragedy, but I could never imagine that (one of the persons who committed the attack) was a member of our family. Of course we are in shock, "he added.

He said that his brother, the father of Malik became more conservative after he emigrated to Saudi Arabia before about twenty-five years. A source close to the government of Saudi Arabia, however, said the Tasfin Malik had attracted the attention of the authorities while still living in this country.
