The **New Year’s Day attack** in New Orleans resulted in **14 fatalities** and **30 injuries**, prompting renewed fears regarding the **ISIS threat** in the U.S.
The suspect, **Shamsud-Din Jabbar**, a **U.S. Army veteran**, reportedly indicated to be inspired by ISIS and displayed their flag during the attack.
Experts suggest that while **ISIS's territorial control** has diminished, the group still possesses the capacity to inspire and orchestrate attacks in various regions, including the U.S.
The **FBI maintains over 1,000 active investigations** related to ISIS nationwide, despite a perceived decrease in successful attacks since the fall of its caliphate in 2019.
Analysts note that the recent attack might shift focus back to **ISIS-related threats**, potentially altering counterterrorism priorities amidst rising domestic extremism concerns.
