pete williams was on. he said this note posted by tashfeen malik was in a diary portion, lack of a better description, on facebook where she wrote this note to herself, then took this note down. imagine twitter and you dm maybe yourself, direct message yourself. that s an avenue you are using to communicate that s not publicly viewed. it sounds like this is kind of a facebook equivalent of that. we are looking for patterns here. we are looking for patterns that we know isis follows. bear with me. we know isis has a 24 hour i. tt. help desk. we know they are monitoring social media sites. one of the things they might be monitoring is this dating profile. under the name syed farook, this is from arab lounge.com. we will pull it up. he posted this, we believe he posted this, at least it s the same name, and you will see as i go through it, he talks about his favorites, he says favorite athlete, michael jordan. but as you continue looking, it says what s the most important thing in a rel
intelligence, because that s where this came from, national-level intelligence on where she was using her computer, i think, again, we re going to be hearing about this from isis, and that may even shed some light. malcolm, thank you so much. kerry sanders is in front of the suspects house in redlands, california. and kerry, as we ve been able to in your great reporting along with the team there piece together more information about syed through his family members, his bride, his wife still remains a great mystery. i ve heard even very little description coming from his family about her. reporter: and that sort of is the secret life here that we don t understand. i mean, he went online, he met her online, he went to saudi arabia, and then they come back here and get married here. so, if you ve noticed, i don t even think we have a picture of her yet. i think one thing that is interesting is, when we listen to pete s reporting about the timing of this posting and wondering how it w
shawn henry, former fbi executive assistant and president of proud strike services is joining me. thank you for joining us. according to reports from pete williams and others, these two attempted to destroy evidence of communications, cell phones, computers. and yet, tashfeen malik reportedly posted a statement, a pledge to isis on the phone. compare that also to the fact that they walked into that conference room with masks on, one would assume to conceal their identities. so, you have two lines here, two people on one hand want to conceal the identity. on the other hand, they want, according to this information, if it is accurate, people to know why they re doing this. yeah, tamron. so, there s a couple different things. i mean, concealing their identity, obviously, people there were able to identify who they were because they had been a co-worker with farook. letting them know publicly that they were associated with isis provides for legitimacy and the credibility and helps to per
because we should fit into your life. not the other way around. welcome back. we continue to follow that breaking news that we reported just minutes ago. law enforcement sources tell nbc news that the wife involved in the shooting rampage in san bernardino posted a statement in support of isis, saying that it was posted just before, the day of the attacks. specifically, sources say the support was to the leader of isis, abu bakar al baghdadi. investigators are looking into whether tashfeen malik was the radicalizing influence in her husband syed farook s life. we ll have much more, including an interview our colleague lester holt did with farook s family. but first, we want to bring you
to come here, pick up that and go to another location. all right, kerry, let me bring in cal perry. he s still here with us to talk about the internet part of this. as kerry mentioned, 12 bombs, a cache of weapons and other things found in the vehicle, ammunition of an incredible proportion. but this facebook family that they may be tied to. when takshfeen malik posted thi message on that account, she knew others, whether it s 1 or 100, were going to see that. and then she took it right down. and she took it down. so, we re seeing a level of operational security, what the military calls op sec, operational security at an isis level. we saw it in paris and now in san bernardino, very well planned out throwing away cell phones, taking the post down, trying to stay one step ahead of authorities. they were able to create an entire bomb-making facility inside that basement and spread word about it online, then get it down and carry out the attack. the other thing that s
