On January 1, a US Army veteran drove a pickup truck into a crowd of New Year’s revelers in New Orleans, killing 15 people. The president said he had posted videos on social media hours before the massacre that he was inspired by the Islamic State group and expressed a desire to kill.
The FBI said it was investigating the attack early Wednesday, in which the driver drove around a police roadblock and called it terrorism before being shot dead by police. and he did not believe that he had acted alone.
The FBI identified the driver as 42-year-old Shamsuddin Jabbar, a U.S. citizen from Texas, and said it was working to determine any possible ties to terrorist organizations.
