Investigations Intensify into Path of Radicalization of New Orleans Truck Attacker Connected to ISIS

Credited from: INDIATIMES

  • Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a 42-year-old former US Army veteran, pledged allegiance to ISIS before carrying out a truck attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day, killing 14 people.
  • The FBI is exploring Jabbar's radicalization process, particularly his recent re-commitment to Islam after previously abandoning it.
  • Authorities have indicated that Jabbar was "100% inspired by ISIS," even having traveled to Cairo in early 2023 under unclear circumstances.
  • Jabbar did not fit the typical profile of ISIS recruits, as noted by former FBI agent Ali Soufan, highlighting the broadening appeal of extremist ideologies.
  • Officials are concerned about ISIS's global influence, particularly its recruitment strategies via online platforms and encrypted communications, to inspire attacks like Jabbar's.

For further details on the investigation, read the original articles from SCMP and India Times.
