New Orleans attack: An Army veteran's path to radicalization
Briefly

Shamsud-Din Jabbar, despite being a successful businessman and U.S. Army veteran, committed a deadly attack motivated by Islamic State ideology, shocking his loved ones.

The FBI's investigation revealed Jabbar had a history of personal struggles, including financial difficulties and a recent divorce, and it remains unclear what drove him to violence.
