New Orleans terror suspect Shamsud Din Jabbar said he originally planned to target his family and friends instead of strangers but did not because he feared the headlines would not focus on the “war between the believers and the disbelievers,” FBI Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Raia of the Counterterrorism Division revealed during a press conference Thursday morning.

Raia provided a timeline of events that led to the attack, which resulted in 14 innocent victims losing their lives and roughly 35 more injured. He noted that Jabbar joined ISIS before the summer and posted videos to his Facebook account revealing his plans to originally attack family and friends. Howev
