New Orleans terror suspect's brother says attack is sign of 'radicalization': report

The brother of the suspected terrorist accused of ramming a truck through crowded Bourbon Street in New Orleans discussed his brother's religious background in a recent interview and said the attack was an example of "radicalization." 

Abdur Jabbar, 24, spoke to The New York Times in Beaumont, Texas, where he and Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, grew up, saying they were raised Christian, but the now-deceased suspect had converted to Islam. 

"As far as I know, he was a Muslim for most of his life," the brother told the Times.
