There is no indication that the two suspects who killed 14 people in California are part of a larger terrorist group, the White House said today as US President Barack Obama reviewed the information on the California mass shooting with his national security team.
Obama received an update from FBI Director, Attorney General, Secretary of Homeland Security and his intelligence community leadership on the ongoing investigation into the horrific shootings in San Bernardino, California, the White House said.
The President was briefed on the latest details of the investigation, the White House said adding that Obama's team highlighted several pieces of information that point to the perpetrators being radicalised to violence to commit these heinous attacks.
"The President's team also affirmed that they had as of yet uncovered no indication the killers were part of an organized group or formed part of a broader terrorist cell," the White House said.
The FBI added that, in coordination with local authorities, they are utilising all necessary resources to pursue any and all leads in their terrorism investigation.
Obama directed his team to take all measures necessary to continue to protect the American people, which remains his highest priority, the White House said.
