WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Tashfeen Malik posted on Facebook a pledge of allegiance to Daesh leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, CNN reported citing US officials. However, Malik’s account was made under a different name.

On Wednesday, a shooting at Inland Regional Center killed 14 people, and injured over 20 others. Police identified the shooters as a US-born man of Pakistani origin Syed Farook and his Pakistani wife Malik.

The attack interrupted a holiday party that the non-profit facility, which offers services to people with disabilities, was hosting. Farook was involved in a dispute at the party and left shortly before the shooting.

Following the San Bernardino gun assault, US President Barack Obama said that the FBI was looking into possible motives behind the shootings, adding that the possibility of terrorism had not been excluded.
