The suspected shooter also subscribed to ISIS ideology, his father told an Italian newspaper.
The suspected San Bernardino gunman Syed Rizwan Farook was "obsessed with Israel" and shared the ideology of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, according to his father.

The man confirmed to Mastrololli he was the suspected shooter's father, saying he was in despair over what his son had done.
"[He was] an angel," the man said of Syed Rizwan. "Good, obedient, studious. Maybe a little timid, conservative, and obsessed with Israel."
The man told the newspaper his sons' names were Rizwan and Raheel, but confusion at the hospital led to them both receiving the first name Syed when they were born.
Lawyers representing some of the Farook family did not immediately return a request for comment from BuzzFeed News.
