The FBI now says that the pickup truck driver responsible for a deadly rampage in New Orleans acted alone, reversing its position from a day earlier that he likely worked with others.
Summary
A U.S. Army veteran, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, killed 15 people and injured dozens in New Orleans by driving a truck into New Year’s revelers, inspired by the Islamic State group.
The FBI is investigating the attack as a terrorist act, finding videos posted by Jabbar expressing support for the Islamic State group and explosive devices in the vehicle and around the city.
Jabbar, a former Afghanistan veteran, was killed by police after opening fire.
