Islamic State praises San Bernardino massacre in California

"The Unites States is burning #America_Burning #Takbir" an ISIS adherent posted on Twitter

Newsroom December 3 03:00

ISIS extremists started celebrating the shooting in San Bernardino, where 14 people died and 17 were wounded, creating the hashtag #America_Burning.

The Islamic State, however, has not yet taken credit for the shootings in the postings.

“Three lions made us proud. They are still alive,” one ISIS adherent tweeted in Arabic following the shootings at Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino.

“California streets are full with soldiers with heavy weapons. The Unites States is burning #America_Burning #Takbir”.

The two suspects of the massacre were identified as Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 27, who were married and had one little girl.
Farook was at the celebration for local health officials but reportedly he left angry and he returned heavily armed with his wife Malik and opened fire at the city’s Inland Regional Center.

They escaped the scene before being tracked by police to a home one city over. They run away from the house in a black SUV, shooting at police and throwing pipe bombs, before they were shot dead.

Police have not find a clear motive for the attack and federal agencies have not yet rule out terrorism. They are hunting for links to ISIS and other extremist groups, since Farook has been described as a ‘devout’ Muslim.
