US New Orleans attack update, former US soldier accused of crushing people with truck in New Orleans, FBI finds connection to ISIS, Trump is angry – New Orleans attack New Year accuses Shams al-Din Jabbar of being linked to Donald Trump’s statement

Washington: On New Year’s morning, a pickup truck plowed into a crowd of people in the French Quarter in New Orleans, USA. 15 people were killed and 30 injured in this accident. The police killed the truck driver on the spot. The truck driver was identified as Shams al-Din Jabbar. Jabbar was an American citizen and served in the military for a long time. The US FBI is investigating this attack as a terrorist incident. The agency feels that ISIS may be behind this. US President Joe Biden and newly elected President Donald Trump also made statements about the attack. According to the FBI, the attacker was 42-year-old Shams al-Din Bahr Jabbar, an American citizen from Texas and a former soldier. An ISIS flag was found on the trailer hitch of his car. In such a case, the FBI is trying to find out whether Jabbar has any connection with any terrorist organization. Assistant Special Agent in Charge Alethea Duncan of the FBI’s New Orleans field office said at a news conference that she did not believe Jabbar acted alone. There may be a terrorist group behind this.

He was a great man in the army

According to an Associated Press report, Jabbar joined the Army in March 2007. She worked in both human resources and information technology. He was also deployed to Afghanistan from February 2009 to January 2010. In 2015, he transferred to the U.S. Army Reserve and served as a staff sergeant until July 2020. According to a state police bulletin, weapons and pipe bombs were found in the suspect’s vehicle. These devices were hidden in the radiator and were connected to wires for remote detonation. A remote control device was also found in the car.

When Jabbar carried out the attack on New Year’s morning, Bourbon Street was full of people celebrating the New Year. People also came to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl college football playoff game between Georgia and Notre Dame. The match was postponed until Thursday evening following the incident.

Statement from Donald Trump and Biden

President Joe Biden said the FBI found videos the driver posted on social media hours before the attack in which he said he was inspired by ISIS and expressed a desire to kill. Newly elected US President Donald Trump issued a statement regarding the incident in New Orleans.

Trump wrote on his social media network, Truth Social, “When I said that the criminals coming to the country are much worse than the criminals in the country, my words were criticized, but have now been proven to be true.” The crime rate in our country has reached a level that no one has ever seen before. Our thoughts are with the brave New Orleans police officers. The Trump Administration will provide full support to New Orleans in investigating this barbaric incident.
