The suspect in a deadly attack on New Year's revelers in New Orleans has been identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a 42-year-old U.S.-born citizen and U.S. Army veteran from Texas, according to the FBI.
An ISIS flag was found on a pole on the truck's trailer hitch, and authorities are working to determine whether the deceased suspect had any affiliation with terrorist organizations.
However, authorities do believe Jabbar was radicalized in the last few years, a senior official told ABC News late Wednesday, and that radicalization may have been exacerbated by the Israel-Hamas war.
Addressing the nation from Camp David on Wednesday evening, President Joe Biden said, "The FBI also reported to me that mere hours before the attack, he posted videos on social media indicating that he's inspired by ISIS, expressing a desire to kill."
"The ISIS flag was found in his vehicle, which he rented to conduct this attack," Biden said. "Possible explosives were found in the vehicle as well, and more explosives were found nearby."
The suspect is not seen but is allegedly heard talking about his divorce and about a desire to kill members of his family before ultimately deciding to carry out the attack on Bourbon Street, the sources said.
The suspect is also heard talking about ISIS, the sources said.
