Tashfeen Malik Pakistan

A federal magistrate on Monday refused to grant bail to a man accused of providing the assault-style rifles a married couple used to massacre 14 people in San Bernardino, California, in an attack inspired by Islamic State.

Pakistan remains a "safe haven" for terrorists and a source of "radical Islamist thought" while its security agencies support terrorist groups destabilising Afghanistan and threatening India, a top US lawmaker said on Wednesday.

Islamic militant groups ignored contact attempts from Pakistan-born Tashfeen Malik in the months before she and her husband killed 14 people at a California holiday party, probably because they feared getting caught in a U.S. law enforcement sting, U.S. government sources said on Thursday.

As investigators work to determine the backgrounds and motivations of the married couple suspected in last weeks mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, contradictory claims have emerged from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia about where the wife, Tashfeen Malik, spent her formative years.

The Pakistani woman suspect in the California mass shooting may have travelled to India from Saudi Arabia once in 2013, a year before she went to the United States with her husband, a media report said today.

Two weeks before he and his Pakistani wife went on to kill 14 people in California, a USD 28,500 deposit was made to the account of slain gunman Syed Farook, a media report has said.

The woman who with her husband shot dead 14 people in California last week attended one of Pakistan's most high-profile religious seminaries for women, a teacher at the madrassa told AFP today.

Investigations into the San Bernardino shooting carried out by a radicalised couple has expanded overseas including Pakistan, a top US official has said.

Estranged relatives of a Pakistani woman involved in a mass shooting in California spoke today of their shame at her crimes, as former classmates and teachers painted a picture of a quiet, religiously conservative student.

Soon after the deadly shooting in California, a flurry of tweets by supporters of ISIS boasted of the terror group's connections to the attack in which 14 people were killed and 21 others injured.

One of the key suspects of the California mass shooting received her US fiance visa in Islamabad after which she travelled to the US and got married, the US State Department has said.
