Now, in addition to those videos, investigators also recovered an ISIS flag from the back of Jabbar's truck. Now, the FBI says Jabbar appears to have acted alone. And that's important because the bureau originally said he might have had help, accomplices. But after an initial investigation chasing down leads, it says it does not appear that Jabbar did have any accomplices.

In an inspired attack, in contrast, there doesn't need to be any direct contact. An individual instead can say, well, watch or read ISIS propaganda online. come to sympathize with the group's ideology or its worldview, and then decide to carry out violence to act in the group's name on their own.
