Law enforcement officials have described the attack as an act of terror that was “100% inspired by ISIS,” the Islamic State terrorist group, and carried out by Jabbar alone.

Jabbar, who drove to New Orleans from Houston in a rental truck, recorded Facebook videos along the way professing his support for the group and saying he’d previously planned on hurting family and friends but changed his focus because he believed the news media would not focus on the “war between the believers and the disbelievers,” Christopher Raia, deputy assistant director of the FBI’s counterterrorism division, said at a briefing last week.
