Authorities in New Orleans have taken steps to prevent in the future what happened in the early morning hours on New Year's Day when 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar used a pickup truck to plow into a crowd on Bourbon Street, killing 14 and injuring more than 30 others before he was killed by police.
Jabbar had posted videos to social media hours before the carnage saying he was inspired by the Islamic State terrorist group.
Brigitte Gabriel is founder and president of ACT for America, and author of "Rise: In Defense of Judeo-Christian Values and Freedom."
"What we did not expect was to have actually a homegrown terrorist and a veteran carry on the terrorist attack because he has been brainwashed by ISIS. But that's the reality today
because of the Internet."
Gabriel says the internet has become a new theater of war.
"That's where the terrorists are recruiting and training. And obviously this veteran has been recruited online, has been trained online. He belongs to a mosque in Houston that nurtured his ideas of hating the infidels, of killing the infidels, the radical mosque he attended in Houston."
