U. S. Investigators say theyre treating wednesdays mass shooting in california as an act ovte of terrorism. The fbi has uncovered evidence from syed farook and his wife, Tasheen Malik that showed extreme planning. And that malik pledged allegiance to isis just before the attack on facebook. Some members of farooks mosque suspect his wife is the one who radicalized him. They say they didnt know about his wife but say they believe the man they worshipped with was a good guy. Reporter investigators are honing in on the wife of syed farook. And they say as the attack was happening, tashfeen pledged allegiance on facebook to isis. The service was in this room . Yeah. Reporter and so the women were up there . Yes. Reporter women are separated from the men in this mosque, so even the director of the Islamic Center never met malik. She is a mystery to many here, including many who knew her best. Sy syeds brothers never saw her face. The brothers have never seen her face because she did wear a burkau. Reporter farook had joined dating websites and came across malik, a pakistani citizen. He said im comfortable with this person. I believe shes a good woman, a decent woman. Reporter he travelled to saudi arabia to meet malik during the pilgrimage. And she often visited over the years to saudi arabia from pakist pakistan. And documents show she entered the u. S. A month after the second viz tosit to saudi arabid they were legally married in august of that year. Members of the mosque first met her in the wedding ceremony here. When she come here, he looks good. He was looking good. Reporter and then he disappeared . He disappeared, yeah. Reporter after coming to this mosque every day for two years, farook stopped. How can this happen . A guy that was very good . You dont hear talking about those mad men like those crazy terrorists. He never talked about those kind of people. Reporter did marriage change him . I suspect. I suspect there is something wrong. Reporter a co worker says hes certain the marriage changed farook. Do you believe that he was radicalized . Yes, by the wife. I think he married a terrorist. He married a terrorist . Yes. Reporter most puzzling, says friends, he would have been a good father and would have wanted to live with this man. How does someone leave their child and do crap like this . Back at the couples home, the media got a close look. The landlord let the media in after the fbi released the crime scene. Here with that part of our story. Unfinished food on the counter, broken glass on the living room floor. This is the town house shared by San Bernardino mass shooters. Sign of a former crime scene mixed baby toys for their six month old daughter. I was the first person to walk in here and saw how it was before everyone started touching it and you can see police looked at many things. I dont want to show you the ids but i do believe they belong to the mother of farook based on the ages. And there are prayer books. When i first walked in this group of prayer beads was sitting on the edge of the bed bh i wa when i walked in as well. Several prayer books. Business cards and plenty of normal trapings you would expect to see in a bedroom. I see lotions and creams and that sort of thing. One of the things that you can see here is this and this is what i was telling you about before is this right here. You can see where they smashed up into the ceiling. To see what was up there. It does appear, based on the debris on the ground, that there was an effort to get up there and make sure they checked every crevice of this back bedroom. Ive seen pass ports, driec dri licen licenses, Social Security cards and a lot of signs of faith. You see a lot of signs of these being people who believed in their faith and a lot of paperwork and a lot of luggage up here as well too. But it looks like its been stashed in the corner but definitely signs this is a room that has been ran sacked, not before the media got here, but by the police as well. Reporter a surprising move because the investigation is still in the early stages. I need assess the damage. Its a lot worse than what i thought. Reporter but the fbi under fire for allowing the landlord into the home saying they released it last night. We executed a search warrant on that apartment and once the residents have the apartment, we dont control it it. Reporter we understand there are reports that the couple may have been building pipe bombs inside of the garage. There was no way to get in it and no signs of that activity in the house hold. As weve been reporting, several pieces of evidence forced them to push forward a terror probe. And here is managing director at global strat and hes written extensively on geopolitical and security issues. Thank you for joining us. As weve just seen in that report, the media were allowed to enter the home of the attackers just four days after the attack. Is it possible that investigators seized everything they could possibly need or is that crime scene now contaminated . As much as i can tell, i would trust the fbi when they tell us that they released a crime scene and theyre confident that they got everything they wanted. So, obviously theyre very professional. Theyre one of the best Law Enforcement agencies in the world and i wouldnt suspect them to be so amateurish. Looking at the couple, the attackers. This was a married couple and i cant recall a shooting like this anywhere in the world and this couple had a six month old baby at home. What do you make of it . Its very worrisome but thats what Islamic State is very good at doing is Brain Washing people and the fact that they were following quote on quote the orders of the head of the Islamic State group and a couple of the spokesman that they called in november twice for followers to attack the u. S. Is very troubling at this point. What makes that isis propaganda so effective . Look, compared to alkied a a islamic has been very good from the get go to be, if you will, a dual kind of terrorist organization. As weve seen in paris, they have the where with all of pulling off attacks. Theyre ordered from the center in syria but as well theyre very good with social media at pushing people to attack the homeland and thats exactly what theyre doing to basically have different threats against our countries. And the fbi, as you mentioned, the wife posted an allegiance to isis on facebook but oddly it happened during the massacre and not before and she used a different name. It seems quite bazar. As much as i can tell because im not privy to confidential information, i would tend to believe the fbi following the track s of what she was doing. I dont know if it happened when she was on her way there and she could have done it over a phone but i have no reason not to believe the fbi at this point. And this seemed like a premeditated act given all the guns seized and the detinators from the home that were found. What do you make of the fact that this was a seemingly planned attack . It fits in the whole threat game that Islamic State is putting together. Basically having people organized on their own attacks against a homeland being completely under the radar and thats one of the only times in recent years all over the world that you had people not monitored by Security Services and it just turned out to be radicals and pulling off terrorist attacks. We appreciate your perspective on all of this. Thank you very much. Weve been hearing the words learning to be strong more and more. Those in San Bernardino, using those words to try to cope with wednesdays massacre. Reporter they were cherished family members, best friends, parents, 14 people between the ages of 26 and 60 who spent their final day celebrating together. Kissing their loved ones good bye in the morning, never believing they wouldnt come home. The thought that was running through my mind was no, no, this isnt true. Daniel drove kaufman to work, he ran a coffee shop. He was taking a break on a bench outside when he was killed. He meant the world to me. He meant the absolute world. Reporter many of the victims were parents leaving behind at least 18 children whose worlds are now changed forever. She was an amazing person because she was so nice. She always supported me in everything i did. And this woman came from iran at age 18 to escape religious extremism. We find it sadly ironic six wife, renee. They told her that if he wasnt in there, he was gone. Reporter a friend posted quote, he was 100 in daddy land. His family says he cherished every moment with his daughter. 27yearold sierra claiborne and yvette were cherished daughters as well. Yvette was a talented motevaded and beautiful young woman. And sierras sister writing my heart is broken. Completely devastated. This community and the families of all the victims will need tremendous strength to move forward. A trait many learned from their loved ones. Im doing okay because what else can i do . I have to stay strong. Reporter cnn, washington. Now for the latest on the paris terror attacks.

Virtually turning roadways into rivers s rivers. You can see people having to navigate some of the flooded streets.

Teams running in and what you may not have known is one of them is actually a doctor and carries tactical gun along with medical supplies. Dr. San jay gupta explains. From airway to stapling in the field to israeli bandage. Reporter hes a new kind of first responder. A hibrid of healer and soldier. Ready to defend as well as save lives. A good guy should be able to defend himself and help everybody else. Reporter not only does he need to carry medical equipment but he has to carry a gun as well.
