At least 35 injured as a driver – identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a US citizen – plowed his truck into a crowd celebrating New Year before firing a weapon. The FBI is now investigating the mass casualty event as an act of terrorism.

    Are we sure that it’s “ISIS inspired”? Because after the Oklahoma City bombing, the government kept insisting it was a foreign attack and most everyone I knew thought it was home-grown terrorism.

      “An ISIS flag was located in the vehicle and the FBI is working to determine the subject’s potential associations and affiliations with terrorist organizations,”

      Seems like a reasonable connection to investigate.

      after a terrorist drove his truck - with an ISIS flag on the back - into crowds

      Literally first sentence.

      We can’t be sure sure, but pretty sure.
