In New Orleans, a horrific incident occurred on New Year’s Eve. The pickup truck ran over a group of revelers; 15 people were killed, and many more were injured. Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a 42-year-old U.S. Army veteran from Texas, has been identified by the FBI as the attacker. Authorities have established that hours before the attack, Jabbar posted online videos declaring his allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS) and his wish to commit violence.
