This image of a tattoo belonging to an inmate — sent to Police1 by John Williams of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department — may indicate radical Islamist affiliation.

John writes, “I believe it originates from the West Bank. The symbols suggest Hezbollah... I would like to know if you know of any additional intel on the letters ‘IABL.’ Thanks ahead of time.”

Anyone with information that either confirms or refutes this hypothesis is encouraged to email us, and we will pass along your feedback to John.
