Suspect posted videos on social media indicating it was inspired by ISIS , Biden says.

Biden : "The situation is very fluid, and the law enforcement and intelligence community are continuing to look for any connections, associations or co-conspirators" Details of the New Orleans attack itself correspond with tactics long espoused by IS propagandists.
