Just hours into 2025, an attack in New Orleans killed 15 people and injured dozens more. Authorities have identified the suspect as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, and revealed that his truck flew an Islamic State flag during the attack. He drove his truck, which was flying an ISIS flag, onto a sidewalk and bypassed a police vehicle, officials said. The FBI revealed that Jabbar also had weapons and a possible improvised explosive device in his truck, which was rented. Eyewitnesses recalled "bodies and screams" in the moments after the attack, which took place in the city's French Quarter.
