The attack in New Orleans on Wednesday brought the group back into stark prominence. Authorities reported that the suspect pledged allegiance to ISIS and flew its flag.
Experts and security officials have in recent months issued increasingly urgent warnings of ISIS gathering strength, with the group adapting after its territorial defeat.
Jessica White, a terrorism analyst, stated, 'They are a diffuse and networked organisation that has alliances and branches that continue to wield influence, cause terror, and further their goals.'
Fifteen people were killed when the driver of a truck slammed into New Year crowds on Bourbon Street, emphasizing the ongoing threat of ISIS.
