SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) — The woman who helped her husband kill 14 people at a holiday banquet for his county co-workers pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group and its leader on Facebook using an alias, then deleted the messages before the attack, a U.S. law enforcement official said Friday, providing the strongest evidence to date that the rampage may have been a terrorist attack.
The remarkable disclosure about the online activities of Tashfeen Malik provided the first significant details suggesting a motive for her participation with her husband, Syed Farook, in the shooting.
BOSTON — In the wake of terrorist attacks in Paris and a mass shooting on Wednesday in California, Gov. Charlie Baker weighed in on an issue that has divided his party's field of president candidates, backing a ban on the sale of guns to anyone of the terror watch list.
"I'm mostly interested in what the gun laws are here in the Commonwealth, but I do think if it's possible for somebody who's on the terrorist watch list to buy a weapon in the United States that should get fixed, period," Baker said after speaking to a group of Massachusetts newspaper executives.
