FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed that the New Orleans terrorist attacker, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, was radicalized by ISIS online in a matter of weeks. Jabbar tragically killed 14 civilians by ramming a rented truck through a New Year's crowd on Bourbon Street and engaging in a shootout with police, resulting in his death.
Wray described these types of threats as particularly challenging, as individuals like Jabbar radicalize quickly and carry out deadly yet crude attacks. The FBI disclosed Jabbar's recent travels to Cairo and Ontario, indicating a pattern of movement before the attack.
