The truck was reportedly adorned with an Islamic state flag, \u200bleading federal authorities to investigate \u2063the attack as a terrorist act. Jabbar engaged in a shootout with police after the incident and \u2062was killed.<\/p>\n<p>FBI officials \u2062confirmed \u2063that Jabbar had posted videos prior to the attack \u2062expressing intentions inspired by ISIS. He was found to \u200dhave rented the truck specifically\u200d for the\u2064 attack and had explosives in his vehicle. Jabbar, a military \u200dveteran\u2062 with \u2062a history of service in the U.S. \u2062Army, was living \u2064in a trailer park in Houston at the time of the attack. Officials indicated that there may be additional suspects involved and\u2062 emphasized that the investigation was\u2063 ongoing. The\u2063 Sugar Bowl event scheduled for that day was postponed due to the incident. President \u200cBiden remarked on the resilience of New Orleans in the face of this assault.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The truck which attacked New Year&rsquo;s revelers in New Orleans and has killed at least 15 people had an Islamic State group flag attached to the back of his rented truck, federal authorities said.<\/p>\n<p>The suspected attacker, a 42-year-old U.S.-born citizen named Shamsud-Din Jabbar, died after exchanging gunfire with police after the attack on Bourbon Street early Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Within a few hours, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/fbi-issues-warning-south-american-gangs-terrorize-professional-athletes-using-elaborate-schemes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the FBI<\/a> confirmed it was investigating the attack as a terrorist-related act.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Statement from the FBI on the situation in New Orleans. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/B3TskTJyUc\">pic.twitter.com\/B3TskTJyUc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash;
