Belgian police have posted information on their website about the two additional suspects sought in connection with the November 13 Paris attacks.
The two men used fake Belgian identity cards in the names of Samir Bouzid and Soufiane Kayal.
Soufiane Kayal's fake ID was used to rent a house in Auvelais in Belgium. The house was raided by police on November 26.
The fake ID in the name of Samir Bouzid was used four days after the Paris attacks on November 17 at 18:00 in a Western Union branch in the Brussels region, to transfer a sum of 750 euros to Hasna Aitboulahcen, the cousin of the Paris attacks mastermind Abdelhamid Abaaoud. Both Aitboulahcen and Abaaoud were killed in a police raid on an apartment in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis on November 18.
Closed circuit TV images were recorded during the money transfer, and have been posted on the police website.
The two men are armed and dangerous, the police warn.
The latest from our news desk on the California attacks:
WASHINGTON -- U.S. officials say the woman who, along with her husband, allegedly shot and killed 14 at a holiday party in southern California had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State militant group.
Federal law enforcement officials were quoted by AP and CNN on December 4 as saying that Tashfeen Malik, a Pakistani native who moved to the U.S. in 2014 on a fiancee visa, had posted a statement on Facebook pledging support to the radical Islamic group.
The White House had no immediate comment on the reports and police officials in California were to hold a news briefing later in the day.
Officials say Malik and her husband, Syed Farook, used automatic weapons, handguns, and pipe bombs in the attack, which occurred at a social services agency in San Bernadino, about 100 kilometers east of Los Angeles.
At least 21 people were wounded in the incident.
The couple was killed hours later after a car chase and fierce gun battle with police.
Farook, who was born in Chicago to Pakistani parents and raised in southern California, was a 28-year-old health inspector for the county.
He had attended the holiday party and then reportedly left agitated before returning with his wife, wearing tactical vests and heavily armed.
Authorities have said that the couple fired as many as 75 rounds into the room where the holiday party was being held before fleeing and they had more than 1,600 rounds left when they were killed.
Police later found 12 pipe bombs, tools to make more explosives, and well over 4,500 rounds at the townhouse they were renting.
Officials have said that while the killings may have been inspired by the Islamic State group, there was no evidence that the radical group had directed the attack.
The shooting was the deadliest in the United States since 2012.
The AP quoted an unnamed official as saying Malik made her posts under an alias and deleted them before she and Farook went on their rampage.
Another U.S. official was quoted as saying that Malik expressed "admiration" for the extremist group's leader -- Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi -- on Facebook under an alias account.
But the official said there was no sign that anyone affiliated with the Islamic State communicated back with her and there was no evidence of any operational instructions being conveyed to her.
Malik had been living in Saudi Arabia when she married Farook two years ago.
The shooting has sparked heated debate in the United States about the wide availability of guns and the prevalence of mass shootings as well as increased fears that people who are radicalized or supportive of Islamic State could enter the United States alongside refugees from Syria or elsewhere.
Islamic State leaders, whose fighters have seized swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria as part of an effort to create a theocratic state called a caliphate, have urged sympathizers worldwide to commit violence in their countries.
Germany is deporting an Australian for fighting against IS in Syria, our news desk reports:
Germany is deporting an Australian man who joined a Kurdish militia group to fight the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria, Sydney's foreign ministry said December 5.
Australian media had reported that Ashley Dyball was detained in Germany after travelling to Europe for a break from fighting with a Kurdish group known as YPG.
Dyball, who also uses the alias Mitchell Scott, posted on Facebook December 4 that he had been charged as a terrorist and was being sent to the Eisenhuettenstadt Detention Center near the German border with Poland. He said he will be deported to Australia on December 6.
The Brisbane man has been fighting against IS since early 2015. Two other Australians have been killed fighting with YPG this year.
It is not clear whether Dyball will be subject to penalties under Australian laws designed to punish people who fought with IS, rather than those who fought against the militant group. (AFP, dpa)
As the U.S. meets opposition in Iraq to deploying special forces, Baghdad demands Turkey pull out its training force, our news desk reports:
Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi has condemned Turkey's movement of troops into northern Iraq near Mosul to train Iraqi forces fighting the Islamic State (IS) group, and demanded their immediate withdrawal.
In a statement on December 5, Abadi said the entry of "around one armed battalion with a number of tanks and cannons" into the northern Nineveh Province was a violation of Iraq's sovereignty.
Iraq's Foreign Ministry described the entry of an estimated 150 Turkish soldiers and 25 tanks as "an incursion" and rejected any military operation that was not coordinated with the federal government in Baghdad, Reuters reported.
Turkish sources said the Turkish troops were deployed on December 4 as part of a "routine" exercise to provide training for Iraqi troops near Mosul, a city of more than 1 million people that IS forces captured in July 2014.
The Turkish sources maintained that Turkey already had troops in Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region, and the United States and other countries involved in fighting IS there were aware it was moving some troops to the Mosul area.
U.S. officials in Washington said they were aware of Turkey's move, but it was not coordinated with the anti-IS coalition operating in northern Iraq.
The United States also moved this week to beef up its special forces fighting IS in northern Iraq, and got rebuffed by the Baghdad government despite attempts to work out the arrangement ahead of time.
Abadi appears to be under pressure from powerful Shi'ite Muslim groups that fought U.S. troops during the decade-long U.S. war in Iraq and now oppose any further deployment of U.S. or foreign troops in the country.
U.S. officials say they are still trying to work out an arrangement for their special forces in negotiations with Baghdad.
One key question is whether Baghdad will have any control over raids the United States conducts exclusively with Kurdish Peshmerga forces in northern Iraq, given that the Kurds often insist on acting independently from the Iraqi military.
Turkey has also cultivated a close relationship with the Kurdish government and by most accounts, Turkey's movement of troops into the Mosul area is only an expansion of its current presence in the autonomous Kurdish zone.
Turkey's close partnership with the Kurdish regional government comes despite its frequent battles with Kurdish rebel groups at home and in Iraq.
A senior Kurdish military officer based on the Bashiqa front line, north of Mosul, told Reuters that additional Turkish trainers had arrived at a camp in the area overnight escorted by a Turkish protection force.
The camp is used by a force called Hashid Watani (National Mobilization Units), which is made up of mainly Sunni Arab former Iraqi police and volunteers who fled Mosul after it was captured by IS.
The Watani force was formed by former Governor Athil al-Nujaifi, who is close to Turkey. There was already a small number of Turkish trainers there before this latest deployment
"Our soldiers are already in Iraq. A battalion of soldiers has gone there. Training was already being given in that region for the last two to three years. This is a part of that training," one senior Turkish official told Reuters.
Turkey had previously been criticized by its NATO allies for not doing enough to stem the rise of IS militants in Syria and Iraq. Turkey joined the U.S.-led coalition against IS only this year, in late July.
Before joining the coalition, Turkey had sought to stake out a more neutral stance toward IS. In June 2014, IS militants kidnapped 49 staff from Turkey's consulate in Mosul after seizing control of the city.
They were all released unharmed three months later after secret negotiations that reportedly resulted in the release of IS prisoners in Turkey in exchange for the embassy staff, AFP reported. (Reuters, AP, AFP)
An IS broadcast says followers of the group carried out California attacks, Reuters reports.
Islamic State said in an online radio broadcast on Saturday that two followers of the Islamist militant group had carried out Wednesday's attack on a social services agency party in California in which 14 people were killed.
"Two followers of Islamic State attacked several days ago a centre in San Bernadino in California," the group's daily broadcast al-Bayan said.
A news agency which supports Islamic State said on Friday the attackers were followers of the group. U.S. government sources have said there is no evidence the attack was directed by the militant group, or that the organisation even knew who the attackers were.
