New Orleans truck attacker acted alone in an ‘act of terrorism’: FBI

By our Special Correspondent

Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the suspect driver behind the terrorist attack in New Orleans that killed at least 15, acted alone but was inspired by Isis, the FBI revealed.                  

Christopher Raia, deputy assistant director of the FBI’s counterterrorism division, said during a briefing that the New Orleans truck attack was "an act of terrorism," and the attacker was "100% inspired by Isis," although he acted alone. He added that the FBI is confident at this point that Jabbar "had no accomplices."
