He warned against assuming anything and stated that the probe is still ongoing. “The intelligence community and law enforcement are still searching for any links, affiliations, or conspirators.

“At this time, we have nothing more to report,” Biden stated. The Pentagon claims that Jabbar was deployed to Afghanistan in 2009 and 2010 and has over 10 years of military experience as an IT and human resources professional.

Jabbar, who lived in Houston, Texas, where he had been a real estate agent, graduated with a degree in computing from Georgia State University.
