General jihadist propaganda may have inspired Chattanooga shooter: source
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - General jihadist propaganda on the Internet may have inspired Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez, 24, who allegedly killed five servicemen in Tennessee on Thursday before being shot dead himself, a source close to the investigation told Reuters on Monday.
The source, who asked for anonymity when discussing sensitive information, said, however, that a direct link had not been established between Abdulazeez and specific groups such as Islamic State.
The attack is being investigated as an act of terrorism.
