The woman, who along with her husband, shot dead 14 people in California last week attended one of Pakistan’s most high-profile religious seminaries for women, the madrasa confirmed on Monday.
Tashfeen Malik (29) was enrolled in 2013 at the Al-Huda Institute in Multan, which targets middle-class women seeking to come closer to Islam and also has offices in the US, UAE, India and UK, said Imran Amir, an administration official at the seminary.
