The female
attacker who carried out a mass killing made the declaration on Facebook using
a different name that she had pledged loyalty to the extremist organisation's
leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
The
Pakistan-born 27-year-old Tashfeen Malik, said she had sworn allegiance to the
Islamic State group.
With her
spouse, 28-year-old Syed Farook, she massacred 14 of his colleagues and injured
another 21 during a holiday party at a social services centre.
Few
details have so far emerged about Malik, who was in the US under a K1 fiancee
visa, sponsored by her American citizen husband.
Farook,
an Illinois-born restaurant inspector, had been in touch with Islamic
extremists on social media, say US intelligence officials.
Police
said they found a dozen more pipe bombs in a bag and nearly 5,000 rounds of
ammunition at the killers' home.
The FBI
have been scouring the couple's mobile phones and a computer hard drive found
at their home in Redlands, California.
Images
of the assault rifles and guns they used have also been released, as well as a
new photo of their truck peppered with bullet holes.
