The terrorist behind the deadly New Year’s attack in New Orleans posted videos online proclaiming his support for the Islamic State terror group before he rammed his truck into a crowd of people on Bourbon Street, killing at least 14, the FBI said Thursday.
It was premeditated and an evil act,” Raia said, adding that Jabbar acted alone.
“He was 100 percent inspired by ISIS.”Investigators believe Jabbar, an Army veteran, picked up his rented white Ford truck in Houston on Dec. 30 and then headed for New Orleans the next evening.
Police investigators surround a white truck that crashed into a work lift in the French Quarter of New Orleans on Wednesday.
Jabbar died in a gunfight with police officers, officials said.
