host: good evening. investigators in the united states are trying to establish what motivated a husband and wife duo to carry out a deadly shooting rage in california. 14 people lost their lives in the attack in san bernardino, about 100 kilometers east of los angeles. the scene there as the media went into the couple's home. camera crews scrambled to film the premises. investigators in san bernardino gave a press conference a short while ago. one of the investigators described the attack as an act of terror.

based on the, information and the facts as we we are now investigating these horrific acts as an act of terrorism. we have uncovered evidence that has led us to learn of extensive planning. we have uncovered evidence of explosives, multiple armament. a member of the fbi speaking. the u.s. says the couple could have been planning to carry out a much more elaborate attack based on the weapons they have identified. let's get more from yes mina from reuters. she joins us now from san bernardino. bring us up to speed, if you will. what is the latest you're hearing on the investigation. reporter: what we know is that the wife had pledged allegiance to isis, perhaps on facebook, and that account has since been

taken down. we are still looking for more details, but based on what we know and what the investigators have released, they had a salt rounds of ammunition in their home. ssault rounds of ammunition in their home. i have spoken to several people at the mosque who knew syed rizwan faroo, the husband. they said he was extremely quiet. online. he wanted to be married at the riverside mosque he attended twice a day. the director of the mosque said he had asked for his blessing to marry this woman and he went to saudi arabia, married her in mecca, and then came back here and celebrated our wedding

reception with his wife at this mosque in riverside. now.is all we know right they have left behind a six-month baby. a very larges muslim community in that region of the united states. clearly, they must be worried now that this shooting is going to stoke tensions in the area. one mosque went to went tod rizwan farook couple of times a week during his lunch break in san bernardino. fridayve police guarding prayers today, which is their most popular prayer time. everywhere muslims condemn it and say they are trying to band together and unite in the face of this. they are all very distressed by what happened. no one saw any signs of radicalization or ideology, or they say they would have tried to stop it.

for bringing us up to speed. thank you very much indeed for speaking to france 24. cross to rick nelson, a homegrown terrorism expert and national security council member during the bush administration. for speaking to us. we have heard suggestions that this husband and wife duo could have had it links to islamic state. does that sound credible to you or do you think they were simply inspired by the jihadist organization? rick: it could be credible, but it is more likely they were inspired. the way isis is using social media, they are able to reach into communities and get individuals to conduct these acts of violence, sometimes without ever having met a member of isis. it is more likely it was inspired, rather than direct

coordination with a terrorist group. for my major worry enforcement in the united states. if individuals are being inspired -- law enforcement in the united states. if individuals are being inspired by terrorist groups a world away. rick: it is extremely troubling. we respect free speech. we respect privacy. you don't know when someone is going to cross the line from being engaged in rhetoric or violent talk to actually committing a violent act. it is almost impossible for law enforcement to determine when that is going to happen. they certainly don't have the resources, nor do we want to in the united states, to be overly whohing every individual might be espousing rhetoric on a social media site. it is troubling for law enforcement in the united states. host: and of course they are

always trying to stay ahead of the game, if you will, and when it comes to technology, monitoring people who are, simply, very numerous, spread out across the country, and, as we are saying, impossible to pinpoint in a traditional way. rick: the media has always been an important tool of terrorist groups. social media even more so in today's environment. no group has ever utilized social media as effectively as isis has. to recruitle globally, inspire individuals globally, get individuals to join their cause or attack. withoutf of their cause ever having come in contact, many times, with these individuals. it is going to be incredibly difficult for the united states and our friends and allies to identify individuals in advance of these attacks and to take action once they are identified. host: thank you for sharing that

with us. homegrown terrorism expert rick nelson. thank you for speaking to france 24. three weeks have passed since the paris terror attacks in which 130 people were killed. in the aftermath, francois hollande declared war on the islamic state organization. today, he paid a visit to an aircraft carrier that is of central importance to the campaign. it is positioned off the coast of syria and is going to be used in the fight against jihadists. although germany is not going to be conducting airstrikes itself, the house in berlin voted overwhelmingly in favor of joining the campaign in syria. sendingis reconnaissance jets and military personnel to the region. to join thes set international campaign against the islamic state group. after lawmakers approved a plan to provide military and logistical support.

of the 598 mps who took part in the vote, 445 voted for, 146 against, and seven abstained. the decision means that germany will deploy up to 1200 soldiers, six reconnaissance jets, refueling aircraft, and a frigate. german jets will not carry out airstrikes against jihadi positions. the move is seen as a sign of solidarity with friends -- france after the attacks in paris three weeks ago. in the's involvement conflict is highly controversial. the opposition party deemed it an irresponsible mission. >> three weeks ago, 130 people were killed in a barbaric act of terrorism, and now you say we should combat the islamic state group and bomb innocent people, women, children, in syria this is pure madness.

there are too many pictures. reporter: the french prime minister underlined the importance of the public service campaign. is faced with a threat, a lasting threat. we must and will learn to live with it. , it is normal to create a culture of safety to learn the right behavior to adopt. that is why we have launched this campaign. >> a safety campaign 20 years ago after eight bomb attacks killed eight people and wounded hundreds more was launched in the paris subway system. passengers were advised to keep their bags with them at all times. now a new threat calls for new measures. makeshift shrines have been created at the sites of the tribute to the victims. one of the venues that came reopenedack has today
