New Orleans attacker acted alone, supported Islamic State, FBI says

Initial concerns suggested that Jabbar may have had accomplices still on the run, but preliminary investigations by the FBI show that he likely acted alone. The FBI has stated that they do not assess that anyone else was involved in the attack. The attack is being investigated as a possible act of terrorism, and the FBI has confirmed that Jabbar was inspired by ISIS.
I'm glad the game is back on for today. But I'm not surprised, because the spirit of New Orleans can never be kept down. That's also true of the spirit of America.
They've established that the attacker is the same person who planted the explosives in the ice coolers in two nearby locations.
They said he had a remote detonator in his vehicle to set off those two ice chests.
What I can tell you is that the person was an army veteran, we believe he was honorably discharged but we are working through this process to figure out all this information.
We've had 24 hours now to go through media, to go through phones, to interview people, to analyse those videos, analyse other databases.
Additionally, he stated he had joined ISIS before this summer. He also provided a will and testament.
Let me be very clear about this point: This was an act of terrorism. It was premeditated and an evil act.
In the first video, Jabbar explains he originally planned to harm his family and friends, but was concerned the news headlines would not focus on the, quote, 'War between the believers and the disbelievers,'
We're digging through more of the social media, more interviews, working with some of our other partners to ascertain a little bit more about that connection.
We believe we can absolutely provide a safe and wonderful environment today, and hold the Super Bowl and all of our activities.
With the Biden 'Open Border's [sic] Policy' I said, many times during Rallies, and elsewhere, that Radical Islamic Terrorism, and other forms of violent crime, will become so bad in America that it will become hard to even imagine or believe.
Isis-K and its allies retain a safe haven in Afghanistan, and they continue to develop their networks in and out of the country.
Their goals do not stop there. They have called for attacks globally on anyone not aligned with their extremist ideology, and Taliban efforts to suppress the group have proven insufficient.
What we see in Syria right now are areas that are basically ungoverned because of the fall of the Assad regime.
From what we can see, (Jabbar) had no contact directly with Isis leadership. Most of the perpetrators of Isis-inspired terrorism in the West are the same way. We have even seen cases of French military officers being radicalized.
Isis has lost territory and they've lost power, but their propaganda is still very powerful and effective online.
