Man who declared support for Islamic State killed 14 and injured dozens
Watch as officials with the FBI provide an update on the investigation into Wednesday’s deadly truck attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
Officials with the FBI will provide┬аan update Sunday on their investigation┬аinto last Wednesday’s deadly truck attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
A man in a rented pickup truck rammed into a crowd of people celebrating New Year’s Day in the city’s French Quarter,┬аkilling 14 people and injuring dozens of others in┬аwhat is being investigated as an act of terrorism.┬а
The day after the rampage, the┬аFBI said the driver of the truck acted alone, countering initial suspicions that he may have had accomplices.
Investigators say they are continuing to look into what motivated┬аShamsud-Din Jabbar┬аto carry out the attack┬аbefore he was killed by police during a firefight. The former U.S. Army soldier proclaimed his support for the Islamic State militant group in online videos posted hours before he struck.
FBI official Christopher Raia said Thursday that investigators do not believe at this point that anyone other than the accused was involved in the New Orleans truck attack, which he described as an ‘act of terrorism’ that saw 14 innocent people killed.
Victims were remembered at a vigil in the city on Saturday night, and U.S.┬аPresident Joe Biden plans to visit New Orleans on Monday to grieve with victims’ families.
