|  By Dan Whitcomb and Mark Hosenball SAN BERNARDINO, Calif./WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The FBI is investigating the massacre of 14 people in California by a married couple armed with assault rifles as an "act of terrorism," officials said on Friday, noting the wife was believed to have pledged allegiance to a leader of the militant group Islamic State. The Los Angeles Times reported, citing a federal law enforcement official, that the husband had contact with people from at least two militant organizations overseas, including the al Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front in Syria. Both the U.S.-born husband, Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and his spouse, Tashfeen Malik, 29, a native of Pakistan who lived in Saudi Arabia for more than 20 years, died in a shootout with police hours after Wednesday's attack on a holiday party at the Inland Regional Center social services agency in San Bernardino, about 60 miles (100 km) east of Los Angeles.

| California shooters didn't fit FBI profiles, raising questions about U.S. strategy | | Saturday, December 05, 2015 1:26 AM | |

The husband and wife accused of killing 14 people in California bore little resemblance, apart from their Muslim faith, to the aimless young men who have been arrested in the United States for plotting violent attacks in the name of the Islamic State. At the time that Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 27, were shooting people at an office holiday party in San Bernardino, California, the FBI was investigating more than 900 U.S. residents for suspected ties to Islamic extremist groups. |
