A heavy police and FBI presence blocks off the French Quarter near Bourbon Street in New Orleans late Wednesday morning after a terrorist attack. Emily Kask / AFP - Getty ImagesAuthorities have cited ISIS’ branch in Afghanistan, known as ISIS-K, as a particular danger. “While we don’t know the extent of ISIS involvement yet, this was either inspired by the group or directed from abroad,” Clarke said.

Western intelligence agencies have generally managed to counter the threat posed by the group, Zelin told NBC News.

ISIS is far from moribund, even if it is now a loosely linked network rather than a self-declared caliphate controlling sizeable cities. There is also the perennial concern among Western security services that individuals inspired by ISIS will launch low-tech attacks – such as stabbings, shootings and driving vehicles into crowds. Events in the Middle East have pushed already radicalized individuals to violence, according to Rita Katz, executive director of SITE Intelligence, a non-governmental organization that monitors terror groups,.
