Multan (Pakistan) (AFP) – The woman who with her husband shot dead 14 people in California last week attended one of Pakistan’s most high-profile religious seminaries for women, a teacher at the madrassa told AFP Monday.

Tashfeen Malik, 29, studied 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, the UAE, India and the UK, said the teacher at the seminary who gave her name only as Muqadas.

The institute has no known extremist links, though it has come under fire in the past from critics who say its ideology echoes that of the Taliban.
