The Islamic State group, also known as ISIS, claimed responsibility for Monday’s attack at Ohio State University that injured 11 people. The attack was carried out by university student Abdul Razak Ali Artan, a Somalia-born U.S. citizen, who ISIS called its “soldier.”
Since ISIS proclaimed itself a worldwide caliphate in June 2014, the extremist group has carried out several attacks across the world. Although a few attacks have been directly linked to the group in the U.S., several of its sympathizers have carried out assaults in the country, with some leading to fatalities.
In Monday’s incident, it was not immediately clear whether Artan pledged allegiance to ISIS or any other terrorist group. However, the attack bore similarities to past ISIS-related assaults in the country.
