Law enforcement officials are currently reviewing a series of videos allegedly made by a 42-year-old suspect from Texas, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, in connection with the New Orleans attack. In these videos, the suspect is heard claiming to have joined ISIS, according to sources briefed on the investigation.
The investigation comes amidst growing concerns raised by current and former US officials regarding ISIS recruitment efforts and the potential for terror attacks by individuals or small groups, often referred to as 'lone wolves.' These warnings have been amplified as the violence in Gaza continues to dominate international news coverage since October 7, 2023.
