A day after federal officials<span style="color: Red;">*</span>revealed<span style="color: Red;">*</span>that a woman who took part in the mass shootings<span style="color: Red;">*</span>in San Bernardino had pledged support for the Islamic State, that extremist<span style="color: Red;">*</span>group reported over its official online radio service that the<span style="color: Red;">*</span>man-and-wife team who killed 14 were supporters<span style="color: Red;">*</span>of the organization.
"Two followers of Islamic State attacked several days ago a center in San Bernardino in California," the group reported on its Al-Bayan daily broadcast,
according to Reuters. But the Islamic State militants stopped short of claiming responsibility for the violence.
The Islamic State report praised the attack, but did not characterize Syad Farook, 28, and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, 27, as<span style="color: Red;">*</span>members of the<span style="color: Red;">*</span>group.
U.S. officials
reported Friday that Malik had pledged support for Islamic State terrorist group and its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, in a posting on Facebook immediately before she and her husband opened fire on a holiday party at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino Wednesday.
In addition to killing 14 people, most of them Farook's co-workers at a county agency,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>21 were injured.
