FBI: There is no evidence that the perpetrators of San Bernardino was jihadists
The FBI director James Komi said today that the research done by the authorities so far have not found evidence to suggest that the alleged perpetrators of the massacre in San Bernardino, with 14 dead, were members of a core, or that were any contact with militant groups abroad.
The 28 year old Sagent Rizouan Farouk and 29 years old Tasfin Malik were in favor of "jihad" and die as "martyrs" in private conversations, but never openly on social networking sites, Komi said at a press conference in New York.
"These talks about jihad are private messages between themselves," said Komi. "So far the investigations have found no evidence suspension elements in social media by any of the two to show their commitment to jihad or to die as martyrs," he added, and called it "disinformation" the press reported that the Malik had sworn allegiance to the Islamic State with the suspension on Facebook.
The Director of the Federal Office of US Research noted that the alleged perpetrators radicalized before the emergence of the Islamic State, noting that investigations are continuing and the authorities are trying to find out where did the perpetrators and what they did during the four hours after the attack.
