New Orleans faced a harrowing event as Shamsud-Din Jabbar unleashed terror on Bourbon Street, slamming his vehicle into crowds, leaving 14 dead and dozens injured. This incident is under FBI review as a probable terrorist act, potentially linked to ISIS.
In a White House briefing, President Biden disclosed that investigations confirm Jabbar acted alone. However, he had previously made several videos expressing support for ISIS, which federal authorities are currently probing for any relevant connections.
Efforts are ongoing to determine if there's a link between this incident and a separate explosion in Las Vegas. As federal agencies diligently pursue answers, Biden has assured that every available resource is being utilized for a prompt and factual conclusion.
