farook's whose house was searched over the weekend. he purchased the rifles. when did they go from his custody to farooks? did he know about the attack? thomas? >> the other thing, the new photo we have, how significant is it? because most of the important we have gotten about tashfeen malik is that she wore a burqa and hardly let her face be seen. >> reporter: yeah. well, this is immigration so i'm not sure the rules as far as immigration is concerned, thomas. she may have had to take that off. we know that this is a moment she entered the country. flying through chicago and the photo itself, even if the photo's not significant, what it stands for is. what background check and interview process took place before that visa was issued? >> blake mccoy reporting, thanks so much. we'll come back to you. that fbi conference in the next
we are learning new details on the female shooter from san bernardino. this investigation has expanded to pack san where tashfeen malik spent most of her life and authorities looking for any clues to explain the motive behind the deadly massacre and if malik had any ties to terror groups. bill neely joins us now from islamab islamabad, pakistan. is there a clearer picture beginning to emerge? >> reporter: good afternoon. what tashfeen malik did is a complete mystery to her friends, her family and to authorities here in pakistan. who tashfeen malik really is was almost an enigma and almost two maliks. one that the family and friends thought they knew and the other
can, they were found by our investigators. >> reporter: and they're delving into tashfeen malik's past. she was raised in saudi arabia and met the man who would become her husband online. she arrived in the united states on a flight to chicago a year ago. a big question for investigators, did she radicalize her husband? and did she come here intending to do that? the fbi has concluded its search of the apartment where the couple lived. officials say they found three more remote control pipe bombs like the one left behind at the scene of the shooting. the fbi director and the attorney general are once again urging people to report suspicious behavior. i asked if they're aware of something that somebody missed that could have prevented this attack, and comey said based on past experience that's reasonably likely. >> pete williams, thank you. we have two reports from california this morning. nbc's morgan radford is at the suspect's home and blake mccoy is near the massacre in san bernardino. morgan, we'll begin with you
that might tip them off to future attacks overseas or at home. >> allowing them in the future also to be able to look for certain motives or certain key indicators that may be able to prevent this or be able to be spotted online before it happens. >> reporter: twitter and facebook promised to remove any support for terrorism, but often it's too late. by the time facebook noticed malik's support for isis the attacks were under way. tom costello, nbc news, washington. and with me in the studio is senior editor of senior and digital media content. if the attacks turn out to be isis inspired does that only add more fuel to the terror propaganda? >> absolutely. that would be beyond their wildest dreams. they have two people who build bombs silently with great operational security, know hough to burn and destroy cell phones, during the attack. if isis didn't direct this, which there's absolutely no evidence they didn't, in fact we
they were totally shocked that this could take place, as shocked as anybody else was. >> reporter: alex, those lawyers also said that syed farook was made fun of by his colleagues at work for his beard. we also learned from the fbi that tashfeen malik pledged allegiance to isis just moments before the attack. they did have a 6-month-old daughter who lived with them here in this home. she's now in protective services. but investigators are asking a lot of new questions this morning. did she in fact radicalize her husband? why did they choose the site of the holiday party? a lot more questions for investigators to look into this morning. >> they sure are. thank you so much for that. let's go to nbc's blake mccoy. he's in san bernardino by the scene of the shooting. so blake we have heard from the head of the fbi on this. what is he saying? >> well, the head of the fbi as you heard in pete williams' story there is still acting under the belief that these two were acting alone. not part of a larger terror
by senseless violence. >> reporter: this morning tears and heart break for the victims as police scour through the suspects' lives to search for a motive to the crime. there's no true way to know what the true intent was. again, a big part of the place is the digital footprint, the fbi doing all they can to retrieve as much information as possible. >> miguel almaguer, thank you. one of the biggest mysteries, who exactly was tashfeen malik and what drove her to gun down more than a dozen people and leave behind her infant daughter? nbc's stephanie gosk is at the home in redlands, california. what are we learning about her today? >> reporter: hey, alex, good morning to you. well, tashfeen malik went through a rigorous process to get into the country on the k-1 or fiancee visa. and then she applied for a green
priority for federal investigators, finding then scrubbing all of the electronic and social media communication that the san bernardino suspects may have utilized. >> we are going through a very large volume of electronic evidence. this is electronic evidence that these killers tried to destroy and tried to conceal from us. >> reporter: suspect tashfeen malik used a private facebook message to pledge allegiance to isis, but it's likely no one noticed because it was private. isis has become fluent in social media. in just one day last year, it posted 40,000 tweets. posting of the brutality. and recruiting new members. through an exploding digital community that offers secret communications with the ability to permanently delete. >> technology moves much faster than law enforcement so we have countless applications being created on a regular basis. all of them more -- more conducive to being secretive. >> reporter: in san bernardino the fbi will look for anything
