Tashfeen Malik, the female California shooter, pledged allegiance to the leader of the terror group ISIS on the same day she and her husband murdered 14 people and wounded 21 others.

That’s according to law enforcement sources cited by CNN. Sources said the same to NBC News. The news comes a day after officials said Malik’s husband Syed Farook may have been radicalized while in Saudi Arabia.

Jim Sciutto, CNN’s chief national security correspondent, says that Malik allegedly posted a note of support for ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, under a different account name on Facebook. An official familiar with the issue said it was posted “just before the attack.” 

Several federal officials who investigated the electronic devices the Muslim attackers used gave the information to Sciutto.

Although not much is known about Malik, she was apparently never seen in public without her face obscured by a veil.
