Shamsud-Din Jabbar’s New Year’s massacre in New Orleans, carried out with a pickup truck flying an ISIS flag, may embolden the terrorist organization to radicalize more Americans, experts told Fox News Digital. Jabbar, a suspect in the attack, posted videos pledging his allegiance to ISIS, law enforcement sources said.
As the FBI investigations continue, expert retired FBI agents Scott Duffey and Chris Swecker worry that the recent attack could escalate the threat to national security, particularly in social media platforms that are often exploited by terrorist groups to recruit and radicalize impressionable individuals.
