The revelation comes after US officials said the female shooter who carried out the mass shooting with her husband pledged allegiance to Islamic State (ISIS).
Tashfeen Malik, who burst into a staff Christmas party with Syed Rizwan Farook, wielding assault rifles, pledged allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi on Facebook, according to officials investigating the attack in San Bernardino, California.
The motive behind their deadly killing spree has still not been confirmed while investigators work to determining whether the couple’s act was terrorism-related.
The post on social media by Malik on Wednesday was done on an account with a different name, according to one US official – but investigators did not explain how they knew she posted it.
The finding, if confirmed, could be a “game changer”, investigators said.
The discovery was made after police seized the couple’s electronics for examination to determine whether the couple had links to any terror groups.
Officials have added that the attack in California may have been inspired by ISIS – also known as Daesh – but there is no evidence yet to suggest the attacked was directed by the terror group.
