♪ mass murder in the name of faith. investigators say the woman behind the deadly attack in california was inspired by isis. what american muslims warn about aligning terrorism with islam. and flooding in southern india and there's more on the way. and you may want to stay clear of this german commercial. we'll hear from the man behind the most depressing ad campaign. i'm lindsey kin kkade and ts is cnn newsroom.

u.s. investigators say they're treating wednesday's mass shooting in california as an act ovte of terrorism. the fbi has uncovered evidence from syed farook and his wife, tasheen malik that showed extreme planning. and that malik pledged allegiance to isis just before the attack on facebook. some members of farook's mosque suspect his wife is the one who radicalized him. they say they didn't know about his wife but say they believe the man they worshipped with was a good guy. >> reporter: investigators are honing in on the wife of syed

farook. and they say as the attack was happening, tashfeen pledged allegiance on facebook to isis. >> the service was in this room? >> yeah. >> reporter: and so the women were up there? >> yes. >> reporter: women are separated from the men in this mosque, so even the director of the islamic center never met malik. she is a mystery to many here, including many who knew her best. sy syed's brothers never saw her face. >> the brothers have never seen her face because she did wear a burkau. >> reporter: farook had joined dating websites and came across malik, a pakistani citizen. >> he said i'm comfortable with

this person. i believe she's a good woman, a decent woman. >> reporter: he travelled to saudi arabia to meet malik during the pilgrimage. and she often visited over the years to saudi arabia from pakist pakistan. and documents show she entered the u.s. a month after the second viz tosit to saudi arabid they were legally married in august of that year. members of the mosque first met her in the wedding ceremony here. >> when she come here, he looks good. he was looking good. >> reporter: and then he disappeared? >> he disappeared, yeah. >> reporter: after coming to this mosque every day for two years, farook stopped. >> how can this happen?

a guy that was very good? you don't hear talking about those mad men like those crazy terrorists. he never talked about those kind of people. >> reporter: did marriage change him? >> i suspect. i suspect there is something wrong. >> reporter: a co worker says he's certain the marriage changed farook. >> do you believe that he was radicalized? >> yes, by the wife. i think he married a terrorist. >> he married a terrorist? >> yes. >> reporter: most puzzling, says friends, he would have been a good father and would have wanted to live with this man. >> how does someone leave their child and do crap like this?

>> back at the couple's home, the media got a close look. the landlord let the media in after the fbi released the crime scene. here with that part of our story. unfinished food on the counter, broken glass on the living room floor. this is the town house shared by san bernardino mass shooters. sign of a former crime scene mixed baby toys for their six month old daughter. >> i was the first person to walk in here and saw how it was before everyone started touching it and you can see police looked at many things. i don't want to show you the ids but i do believe they belong to the mother of farook based on the ages. and there are prayer books. when i first walked in this group of prayer beads was sitting on the edge of the bed

bh i wa when i walked in as well. several prayer books. business cards and plenty of normal trapings you would expect to see in a bedroom. i see lotions and creams and that sort of thing. one of the things that you can see here is this and this is what i was telling you about before is this right here. you can see where they smashed up into the ceiling. to see what was up there. it does appear, based on the debris on the ground, that there was an effort to get up there and make sure they checked every crevice of this back bedroom. i've seen pass ports, driec dri licen

licenses, social security cards and a lot of signs of faith. you see a lot of signs of these being people who believed in their faith and a lot of paperwork and a lot of luggage up here as well too. but it looks like it's been stashed in the corner but definitely signs this is a room that has been ran sacked, not before the media got here, but by the police as well. >> reporter: a surprising move because the investigation is still in the early stages. >> i need assess the damage. it's a lot worse than what i thought. >> reporter: but the fbi under fire for allowing the landlord into the home saying they released it last night. >> we executed a search warrant on that apartment and once the residents have the apartment, we don't control it it . >> reporter: we understand there are reports that the couple may have been building pipe bombs

inside of the garage. there was no way to get in it and no signs of that activity in the house hold. >> as we've been reporting, several pieces of evidence forced them to push forward a terror probe. and here is managing director at global strat and he's written extensively on geopolitical and security issues. thank you for joining us. as we've just seen in that report, the media were allowed to enter the home of the attackers just four days after the attack. is it possible that investigators seized everything they could possibly need or is that crime scene now contaminated? >> as much as i can tell, i

would trust the fbi when they tell us that they released a crime scene and they're confident that they got everything they wanted. so, obviously they're very professional. they're one of the best law enforcement agencies in the world and i wouldn't suspect them to be so amateurish. >> looking at the couple, the attackers. this was a married couple and i can't recall a shooting like this anywhere in the world and this couple had a six month old baby at home. what do you make of it? >> it's very worrisome but that's what islamic state is very good at doing is brain washing people and the fact that they were following quote on quote the orders of the head of the islamic state group and a couple of the spokesman that they called in november twice

for followers to attack the u.s. is very troubling at this point. >> what makes that isis propaganda so effective? >> look, compared to alkied a a islamic has been very good from the get go to be, if you will, a dual kind of terrorist organization. as we've seen in paris, they have the where with all of pulling off attacks. they're ordered from the center in syria but as well they're very good with social media at pushing people to attack the homeland and that's exactly what they're doing to basically have different threats against our countries. >> and the fbi, as you mentioned, the wife posted an allegiance to isis on facebook

but oddly it happened during the massacre and not before and she used a different name. it seems quite bazar. >> as much as i can tell because i'm not privy to confidential information, i would tend to believe the fbi following the track s of what she was doing. i don't know if it happened when she was on her way there and she could have done it over a phone but i have no reason not to believe the fbi at this point. >> and this seemed like a premeditated act given all the guns seized and the detinators from the home that were found. what do you make of the fact that this was a seemingly planned attack? >> it fits in the whole threat game that islamic state is putting together.

basically having people organized on their own attacks against a homeland being completely under the radar and that's one of the only times in recent years all over the world that you had people not monitored by security services and it just turned out to be radicals and pulling off terrorist attacks. >> we appreciate your perspective on all of this. thank you very much. we've been hearing the words "learning to be strong" more and more. those in san bernardino, using those words to try to cope with wednesday's massacre. >> reporter: they were cherished family members, best friends, parents, 14 people between the ages of 26 and 60 who spent their final day celebrating together. kissing their loved ones good bye in the morning, never

believing they wouldn't come home. >> the thought that was running through my mind was no, no, this isn't true. >> daniel drove kaufman to work, he ran a coffee shop. he was taking a break on a bench outside when he was killed. >> he meant the world to me. he meant the absolute world. >> reporter: many of the victims were parents leaving behind at least 18 children whose worlds are now changed forever. >> she was an amazing person because she was so nice. she always supported me in everything i did. >> and this woman came from iran at age 18 to escape religious extremism. >> we find it sadly ironic six

wife, renee. >> they told her that if he wasn't in there, he was gone. >> reporter: a friend posted quote, he was 100% in daddy land. his family says he cherished every moment with his daughter. 27-year-old sierra claiborne and yvette were cherished daughters as well. yvette was a talented motevaded and beautiful young woman. and sierra's sister writing my

heart is broken. completely devastated. this community and the families of all the victims will need tremendous strength to move forward. a trait many learned from their loved ones. i'm doing okay because what else can i do? i have to stay strong. >> reporter: cnn, washington. now for the latest on the paris terror attacks. officials in belgium are looking for two more suspects. they may have had connection to the suspect known as "the eighth attacker." >> and authorities are now looking for two men traveling with abdesalam before the attacks. all were stopped at the u.s.a.

re -- austrian border with false ids. police later found a house with an identity card and another one was used to wire money to one of the woman killed in the police raid following the attacks. she's the cousin of the person widely regarded as the ring liderlide leader of the attacks. and abdselam fled before police realized who they were looking for. a friend says he dropped him off in a brussels neighborhood. in paris, alexandra field, cnn.

have let some of the waters reseed. these are the scenes from india's fifth largest city, the commercial center. many people are being forced to upper floors of building and the life is making life miserable. >> translator: we are facing lots of problems due to this flooding. there is also a power short age. we can even see snakes in the water. >> reporter: they rescued more than 120,000 people on wednesday and thursday and operations are ongoing. >> now we have all the boats with our personnel and along with meals and water. supplies will be deployed in the flood effected areas. >> reporter: many flights being

canceled and some are flying out of an airport 100 kilometers west. and the prime minister flew over the flood hit region and pledged $290 million for relief funds. >> in their hour of need. >> reporter: even if the rains ease up and waters reseed, many people are still going to need help. meteorologist is standing by at the international weather center. derrick, put this in perspective for us. >> we can talk about another city like london, which is typically a very rainy spot in the world. well, they actually received more rainfall than a six month period in london just since the

beginning of december. that's five days they received that much rainfall. and they were stranded on roof tops. some of the worst flooding in over a century and there have been up to 120,000 people rescued from all this flooding. virtually turning roadways into rivers s rivers. you can see people having to navigate some of the flooded streets. this is in the state in the southeastern sections of india, which is located right about this area. again, putting this into further perspective, into the region just south of there, we would normally experience 146 millimeters of rainfall in the entire month of december. and over 900 already accounted for and there's more to come all thanks to a slow moving area of low pressure fromtia relaungau.

and in december, we've broken our average rain and chanai, even though there's a brief lull, there's persistent rain, especially for sunday with more thunderstorms expected from monday into tuesday and wednesday we would experience an additionalal 50 to 100 millimeters on top of what already has fallen. i'm going to leave you with this. an incredible site out of europe's most active and largest volcano, creating what is called volcanic lightning. this takes place when volcanic ash is spewed into the atmosphere, creating a separation of charges and this is mother nature's way of

♪ welcome back to cnn newsroom. here's an update on stories we're following at this hour. and officials in the mass shooting in san bernardino are calling it an act ovtef terrori. and they say the wife posted a pledge of allegiance to isis. and they believe these men are connected to the eighth suspect and one transferred money to the woman who wasila lr

killed in the apartment in saint-denis. and an explosion killed his mother and niece and sister, as well as a number of lebanese soldiers. if you were watching our coverage of the california mass shooting, you probably saw s.w.a.t. teams running in and what you may not have known is one of them is actually a doctor and carries tactical gun along with medical supplies. dr. san jay gupta explains. >> from airway to stapling in the field to israeli bandage. >> reporter: he's a new kind of first responder.

a hibrid of healer and soldier. ready to defend as well as save lives. >> a good guy should be able to defend himself and help everybody else. >> reporter: not only does he need to carry medical equipment but he has to carry a gun as well. a gun much like the one used by the shooters. >> i don't want to get hurt. if someone really have that intention like that yesterday when wr here he was coming and shooting everybody, i want to be able to defend myself on those civilians down there. >> reporter: that's dr. nicki on the right. today, just one day after the shooting, we followed him to this training facility. >> and this is another part of being a brand new sort of doctor, going through training like this with other members of

the s.w.a.t. team to make sure he can defend himself in situations where he's taking care of other patients. >> and we're now going to this assault rifle type where it takes apart vessels and even our tactics are changing right now for law enforcement. rather than sideway, we go to the front to expose less organ injuries. we go sideway and the bullet goes through here and from the front, now you have a plate to protect your heart. >> that's fascinating because you always see people approaching a lower profile. >> reporter: he grew up in iran and served in the military there. so, guns and combat are not new to him but he never thought he'd

have to use those skills in america. >> never in a million years but now that i'm here, this is one of my duties. it's a privl ilege to work here and serve the community out there. it's the least i could do. >> reporter: dr. sanjay gupta, cnn. and how does america compare to other countries in homicide? 31 annual homicides by gun per 1 million people and compare that to germany and france. the u.s. does fall below several developing countries but has a higher rate than russia. the couple involved in the san bernardino shooting used

rifles and semiautomatic weapons that were legally obtained. and here a distinguished scholar and author of five books on u.s. gun pall as, including guns across america. and the current political environment makes it nearly impossible to change gun laws in the u.s. but believes a strong grass roots movement could help bring about change. >> it's an abundance of a wide range of weaponry that goes to the easy availability of too many types of guns and too much in the hands of people. >> lotf of people are pointing o australia and they've seen no mass shootings. >> in 1996 after the port arthur

massacre, the australian government enacted a serious campaign to bring in all assault-type weapons and they've had no mass shootings since that time. that kind of effort would be very difficult in the united states but that doesn't mean there's nothing you can do. there's many steps, policy steps that overwhelming majority of people support and where the congress is firmly controlled with the republican party which is closely aligned with the national rifle association and president obama, a democrat. it's clear they're not interested in any proposals on almost anyway policy matter of president obama's but the deep partisan divide and poles aration that gripping the

national political environment. >> reporter: so where, does that leave us? >> well, it lever leaves us wit number of things. california where, the shooting took place, will be holding a refer endm later this year on new measures to tighten gun laws in that state. down the road, we see pro gun control groups for the first time in history have matched and exceeded the political spending of the nra. if those groups can maintain their effort and if more average citizens can take a deeper issue in the gun issue but that's a long term strategy and would span a number of years but if these new groups ones called every town for gun safety, if they continue to work as they

have been, it's possible that this balance may begin to shift. fewer and fewer americans own guns, less than 1/3 own them. the demographic trend also works against the gun rights political movement. >> thank you for joining us. >> you bet. and despite president obama's plea for tougher gun laws, there's very little he can do on his own and this is why. the second amendment of the u.s. constitution protects american's rights to keep and bear arms. and there are many state and local gun laws that vary widely across the country and any change would likely need approval from u.s. law makers who are reluctant to take on the

powerful gun lobby lead by the national rifle association. nine men and five women were killed at the department's public of health. they all had families and were all loves. here's a story about one of those victims, shannon johnson. >> i'm going to miss him terribly, everybody will. >> that's a broad question but tell us a little bit about shannon. >> shannon hillyard johnson was covered in tattoos but he was a kitty cat. he was the kindest person anyone has ever met. made friends very easily. he was always great at sports.

he loved people. and animals. just everybody. he loved telling stories. >> do you remember what he said about syed? >> he liked syed. syed's religion was very important to him and shannon just wanted everybody to know that every religion is important. i knew he was there; that was his group and you know what, this kind of thing happens often enough that he and i have had discussions about what we would do in an event like this and i'm always, i'm ducking and covering and he said, no screw that, i would charge, i would go after that gun. so, i knew if there was a gunman, shannon went after.

he wasn't hiding anywhere. and his brother knew it, everybody had that feeling. he had an incredible soul. it's a loss for humanity. he gave out good vibes. so, i hope through talking to you and other people that we can keep those good vibes going and reverberate. sometimes it became uncomfortable how much love he was showing me. i wasn't totally used to it but i got used to it and he let me know that he loved me very much and i let him know in the last few months together. how lucky i am to have the time with him. he said he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and he did. he's a man of his word.

after a dvt blood clot.mind when i got out of the hospital what about my family? my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding.

don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you.

political issues and is sfrooekt freakily consulted by governmental levels. thank you so much for joining us. now, you have written extensively ab radicalization and recruitment. what do you make of this couple with a young baby, a six month old baby and their path to radicalization? >> well, i know on the surface for many it will come as very disturbing what took place, potentially new in the minds of some. but unfortunately, it's all too common a trend now that we are witnessing where people, married couples, individuals who on the surface seem to be doing very well have become radicalized, recruited. they've walk into an ideology, even if they live in the west and get most motivated online to take parts in acts of terrorism. far too frequently now we are seeing more women play a direct role in terrorism. being on the periphery, they actually now are directing them. they are engaging in them. this is a new trend and

unfortunately, what took place inside san bernardino is not a one off incident. it will be replicated in the future. >> as isis clear liver speaks to some people. explain to us why it's so effective? >> well, isis has a motto, it remains and it expands. it has created this narrative that it is the only sunni muslim group that can continue to represent that branch of the caliphate superstate. it uses very powerful visuals to purport the agenda, the propaganda, and they also use a lot of new media platforms to get the message out. effectively an oxygen of publicity. far too often young people are fought looking at the hard print. the biggest mojo are isis themself, every day they kill dozens of iraqi and syrian

muslims. but it doesn't get enough attention. a lot of these individuals think carrying out attacks on behalf offal al baghdadi it gives them meaning. i that are totally brain washed by the death toll. >> you say potentially there could be more shootings like this one in san bernardino. some governments like france and egypt have a banned isis videos online. what else can authorities do to shoot down the isis propaganda? >> this is a very difficult challenge for the authorities, this is an uphead treadmill. you can try and bring down web sites and forms used by isis, but they will find other methods. they use the dark web, for example, on the internet, which is very hard for the authorities to monitor or to aser tain. ultimately, this is a battle of narratives. one has to be able to expose the grown-up for what they are. for the lives that they put forth or the fact that they are

in many ways an outfit that kill anybody that stands in their way. far too often they have been able to use new media. not swru just as a platform to get the message out to recruit, radicalize, kit out the middle man. >> that is different from the base to get physical training. it's all done through the internet. more needs to be done, the virtual communication from young minds. >> you say it's good to actually stop this propaganda online. what needs to be done, therefore, in march, where a lot of the radicalization would could happen, how could people identify people that might be led astray? >> well, improve 789s have been done in guiltying to religious leaders to progress that has

been made. a lot of counterterrorism have been dependent on the ammans an community elders. the problem now, unfortunately, is these individuals getting radicalized are not showing any overt behavior that would arouse suspicion. it's often done in front of the computer, parents' basement x where they have the internet running, or where they are amongst a small group of people. we are seeing more women recruited. >> that is a dynamic that needs more attention, more perspective. up until now, they were seen assisting behind plots, doing a part of the propaganda. what took place in san bernardino took a less precedent. they actually engage if i. far too often we develop a picture of young men in their late teens, early 20s, we need to understand the fact na women are getting recruited. that's another big difference between al qaeda and isis.

isis encourages women to take part in acts of terrorism. >> she was the mother of a six month old baby. we've seen women from britain who have grown up in a western country lured to syria to join isis. can you tell whaem people what attracts women to isis? >> again, it's similar to effectively online recruitment. similar to doing it through the virtual web. they groom them. they manipulate them. and they offer them promises that they have a greater mean income their life. they can serve to fight for a greater cause a. lot of the young women that get recruited, they ends up being the wife of isis fighters. many ends up regretting going there, because they don't necessarily realize what's happening on the ground. they don't see the dark message that isis use to subjugate

people, to hurt them. we seen a lot of places in the u.k., young women in their teens have abandoned tear family overnight without telling them and disappear. families into ed to pay more attention to what potential trickers could be arousing the radicalization. they may think that a fork at the dinner table where extremist views are expressed is nothing to be concerned about. it's a young angry teen showing their views. it could lead to something far more worse. this is a growing trend where isis are depending on westerners, not just propaganda but engaging in acts of terrorism. >> a fascinating analysis. thank you so much for joining us. >> a pleasure. well, the exact mode of the massacre remains unclear. the attorney representing the farook family says the current climbed is unfairly labeling muslims in a negative light. >> we're talking about political candidates that could very

likely be our next president who are saying things like we should register all muslims and that mosques should be investigated and looked into or the families should be processed or the latest said was it was known that it was a terrorist attack. it was committed simply because a person had an islaming last name. >> he says it is important to remember the latest in his community are actively condemning violence and promoting hate. >> it's really about these are all acts of terror that are happening in our country. so we should talk about not have you the labels, but the solutions him how do we stop farook and massive shootings crippling our nation. leadership matters. look at the leaders guiding these people in a certain direction, which is why we say look at case studies as an

example the islam, his holiness of the community who spans a lot of times makes an active role in millions of muslims on how to embody peace and love as opposed to brutality and justice. so there is something to be said there. >> the family says they didn't know the couple held radical views and they had no idea why they carried out that brutal massacre. 14 people died in wednesday's shooting. our randi kaye has been getting to know some of them through their friends and loved ones. sierra clayborn was just 27 when she died if san bernardino. on facebook, she had written, i am dedicated to enjoying my new life that god so graciously gave me. so i thank him all that i can. i love my life. she was a chemistry major that worked for the county a. friend called her a bright star whom he

could always count on for support. michael raymond wetzel, supervisors environmental specialist leaves behind six children. >> my name is mike. this is our gingerbread carley, a nut cracker this week. >> he loved his baby. he once coached a team of five-year-old girls learning soccer for the first time. in the chaos after the shooting, his wife posted, my husband was in the meeting where the shooting happened. i have not been able to get if touch with him. please, please, pray he is okay. wetzel was 37. this woman flew to america at 18. the persecution of christians following the iranian revolution. after a stop in new york city. she moved to california, they

have three children ages 8 to 18. >> everything she did for the county, there is no person that will say anything bad about her. >> the 46-year-old graduated with a degree in chemistry before joining the health department loved ones wrote, it is the ultimate iron my. at 52. nicholas is described as a very devout leader. his whiff told reporters they were jews and he became born again a couple years ago. she told the l.a. times her husband was outspoken adding i'm sure he went down fighting and protecting people. 31-year-old tim winn was reporting getting married, one cousin told the paper, you

. welcome back to cnn newsroom. i'm lynda kinkade. isis has just claimed the husband and wife behind wednesday's mass shooting in california with two of its supporters. this is not a claim of responsibility. u.s. officials had already said that the female shooter tashmeen malik prejd allegiance to isis in a facebook post during the massacre. authorities released this photo on friday showing to bhen men they're trying to seek in attention with the paris attacks. they believe they are connected to salah abdeslam. they say they sent money to a woman later killed in an apartment raid in sontene. australian surfers remains

that's when we were able to see swat getting there. then we could see the bodies -- >> investigators think tashmeen malik the female shooter pledged allegiance to the leader during wednesday's attacks. cnn has more on this part of the story as well as a radicalization of women around the world. >> during the shootings, she pledged allegiance to abu bakr al baghdadi ag baghdadi, according to u.s. officials, now they are investigating whether tashmeen malik turned her husband into a radical. one of the husband's co-workers told "cbs news" she was to blame. the 27-year-old female attacker was born in pakistan and later traveled to saudi arabia, at

least twice. she met syed farook there and traveled with him to the united states on a fiancee visa. farook family lawyers say she was a typical housewife but traditional, often wearing a burqa. >> she did maintain surgeon traditions from what i understand in terms of fasting and prayer five times a day. se cozy not to drive voluntarily. >> in online dating profiles, farook said he enjoyed target practice in his back yard. the fbi asked directly if it was tashfeen malik that influenced farook. >> i don't know the answer, whether she influenced him or not. >> i believe it's possible she influenced him. you look at female fighters, we tend to have a cousin, that is the reason for her support for the islamic state or any other radical movement and with this case, we are being forced to

are you actually doing the for the reasons this visa would be granted to a fiancee t. property says takes about a year, maybe more, maybe less, depending on the caseload and the individual specifics and it's not really successful that often if you think about it because 230 million people in the country. this is how many are approved, these fiancee visas in a normal year. there has been a spike last year. many say essentially that's not a tremendous number. it shows how rigorous this process is to try to keep people from coming in, improperly or illegally. >> tom foreman reporting from our washington borough there. if you'd like to help the victims of the san bernardino shootings, they impact your world website. they find out how to volunteer, give blood, simply do nate money to affect those by the tragedy. that's at cnn.com/impact. world leaders are meeting in

turbines. >> last year we had 39% of all our electricity stemming from wind generated electricity. >> all of this wind power has created a new sort of problem, if you want to calm it that. one that denmark is trying to solve by checking its power system to other countries. denmark sometimes makes more wind power than it can use. that means all comb plants temporarily can be shut down. >> we are exporting 700 megawatts. >> they sell excess power to near country when the wind isn't bloi blowing, they buy hydro and nuclear. it taxes cars and puts a price on carbon revolution. it starts with a change in attitude. >> we have a responsibility to take care we leave this planet earth in a better shape for the next generation or at least we found it ourselfs. >> as the world talks about how
