Topline The FBI has identified 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar as the man accused of killing at least 10 people in New Orleans early on New Year’s
Day by ramming a truck into a crowd, in an incident that is now being investigated as an “act of terrorism.”

Jabbar—who died at the scene of the attack—is a U.S.-born citizen from
Texas, FBI Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge Alethea Duncan said at a
Wednesday afternoon press conference.

The vehicle Jabbar allegedly used in the attack was a Ford pickup truck
“which appears to be rented,” the FBI said, adding that it was working to confirm how he “came into possession of the vehicle.”

The FBI also confirmed that an ISIS flag was found on the vehicle’s
trailer hitch—something several news outlets had previously reported—and
the agency said it was trying to determine the suspect’s “potential associations and affiliations with terrorist organizations.”

During the press conference, Duncan said investigators do not believe
Jabbar “was solely responsible,” and they are “aggressively running down
every lead, including those of his known associates.”

Duncan later added investigators believe Jabbar is an Army veteran who had
an honorable discharge.

What Else Is Know About Jabbar’s Past?
In a court document filed as part of his divorce proceedings in 2022,
Jabbar disclosed he worked for accounting firm Deloitte at the time and
earned around $120,000 a year, according to The New York Times—though the filing also reportedly mentioned late home payments and credit card debt.
The Times also reported that Jabbar was charged with two minor crimes in
2002 and 2005, first for misdemeanor theft in Katy, Texas—near Houston—and later for driving with an invalid license.

What Details Are Known About The Ramming Attack?
According to New Orleans police, the attacker rammed a truck into a crowd
of pedestrians on Bourbon Street at around 3:15 a.m. early Wednesday. At
least 10 people were killed in the attack and 35 others were injured. The
truck struck several people before it crashed. Several police officers responded to the scene of the crash, after which the suspect emerged from
the vehicle and fired at them. His bullets struck two officers—who are in stable condition—before officers returned fire. He was killed at the
scene. Weapons and a “potential” improvised explosive device were found in
the attacker’s truck, and other possible explosive devices were recovered
in New Orleans’ French Quarter area, according to the FBI. The agency said
its bomb technicians are trying to determine if the IEDs are viable and
working to render them safe.

Key Background
The site of the attack, Bourbon Street—located in the city’s French
Quarter—is a popular tourist spot where a large number of people had
gathered for New Year’s celebrations. The city has also drawn tourists for
the annual college football Sugar Bowl, which organizers postponed from Wednesday until Thursday due to the attack. The FBI is the lead
investigative agency probing the incident, and said it is working with
federal and local partners to “investigate this as an act of terrorism.”

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and
eradicated.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
