[h=1]INSIDE the terrorists' family home: The photos, children's toys and books on Islam that lay alongside boxes of ammunition and pipe bombs - before wife pledged allegiance to ISIS on Facebook and couple launched attack killing 14[/h]
.The home of the husband-and-wife who killed 14 in San Bernardino has been thrown open to the media – revealing scores of family trinkets and toys that would have sat among boxes of ammunition and pipe bombs as they planned their attack, which the FBI says it is now investigating as 'an act of terror.' Tashfeen Malik, who is now pictured in a photo first obtained by ABC News, and Syed Rizwan Farook's home is also filled with family photographs, Korans and other books on Islam but appears to have the appearance of a normal suburban family residence.
The kitchen had pots on the stove, dirty dishes in the sink and a half-eaten pita sandwich. The living room table had several documents, including one that authorities left behind listing what they had seized. Walls were covered with decorative rugs with Arabic script.
One bedroom had a crib next to boxes of diapers and a desk with a photo identification of Farook.
A mattress lay on the floor of another bedroom, covered with documents and Arabic books. The closet had clothes hanging and family photos on the top shelf, with a hole in the ceiling.
The couple's landlord invited members of the media to tour their rental home in Redlands, California, this morning - just as it has emerged that Malik had posted a pledge of allegiance to ISIS and its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, just minutes into a deadly attack on a holiday party Wednesday.
Among the photos found in the two-story town house are a series of young women and a California State University identity card belonging to Farook.
Journalists were let into the home after FBI investigators had collected all the evidence they needed and turned the apartment back over to its owner.
Federal agents have been combing through cellphones and a computer hard drive left behind by the couple to try to establish a motive for the killings.
But a clearer link to ISIS is developing as unnamed officials say Malik used a Facebook alias to pledge allegiance to the terror group in a post that was later deleted. This information provides the strongest evidence to date that the rampage may have been a terrorist attack.
Authorities said the husband and wife who carried out the attack fired 75 rounds and they had more than 1,600 bullets with them when they were killed and well over 4,500 rounds of ammunition at their home.
Investigators haven't explained how they acquired the bullets and they also said that it appears one of the weapons was modified in an attempt to make it fully automatic.
