New Orleans Terrorist Attack
|
Bourbon Street attack suspect identified, FBI investigates 'act of terrorism' in New Orleans | Live Updates from Fox News Digital
A high-level local law enforcement source confirmed to Fox News Digital that an ISIS flag was recovered from the vehicle used in the Bourbon Street attack on New Year's Day. Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42, is the man suspected of driving a pickup truck into a crowd of New Year's revelers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing at least 10 people and injuring 35 more, the FBI said in a statement. Jabbar died in a brief shootout with police after crashing the vehicle. The FBI said in a statement it is leading the investigation into Wednesday's horrific attack, which is being investigated as an act of terrorism. "An ISIS flag was located in the vehicle and the FBI is working to determine the subject's potential associations and affiliations with terrorist organizations. Weapons and a potential IED were located in the subject’s vehicle. Other potential IEDs were also located in the French Quarter," the FBI said. A Glock handgun and .308 caliber rifle equipped with optics and a sensor were recovered from the crime scene, according to a high-level local source familiar who was not authorized to publicly discus details of the investigation. Pro-ISIS media outlets had called on Muslims living in the U.S. and Europe to conduct attacks on New Year's Eve. These calls to arms have been common in the last decade as terror groups wish to incite violent extremists to action during the holiday season. |
