“It was very intentional behaviour. This man was trying to run over as many people as he could,” said police chief Anne Kirkpatrick.

Jabbar died in firefight

Jabbar was killed in a firefight with police following the attack around 3.15am local time (9.15am UK time) on Wednesday.

The bureau said he was driving a Ford pick-up truck, which appeared to have been rented.

It also said an ISIS flag, weapons, and a potential improvised explosive device (IED) were found in the vehicle.

Investigators recovered a handgun and an AR-style rifle after the shootout, a law enforcement official said.

Jabbar was army veteran

He is believed to have been an army veteran and is thought to have been honourably discharged.

He is known to have appeared in a YouTube video talking about his job.

The FBI said it does not believe he was “solely responsible” for Wednesday’s attack, as it asked the public for their help in tracking down his associates.

It is investigating the attacker to determine “potential associations and affiliations with terrorist organisations”.

Police chief Ms Kirkpatrick said the driver, who swerved around barricades, shot and wounded two police officers from the vehicle after it crashed.

The officers were in stable condition, she added.
