What we know about victims of New Orleans terrorist attack

Authorities are currently looking for any potential associates of Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the individual who drove a truck into a crowd in New Orleans before being fatally shot by the police.

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill revealed to Fox News that there are indications pointing to Jabbar having worked with others to plan the attack, although specific details have not been disclosed by officials. The incident orchestrated by Jabbar resulted in the deaths of at least 15 individuals and left numerous others injured.

“In Louisiana, we have the death penalty, and we will carry it out!” Murrill wrote on X.

The assailant, Jabbar, had posted videos on social media prior to the attack where he pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. The FBI’s inquiry has now expanded to several states, although the exact number of possible collaborators remains unclear.

 

Meanwhile, President-elect Trump called on the CIA to get involved in the investigation, blasting Jabbar as “violent scum” and the current administration as “incompetent and corrupt.”

His statement came after a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. It remains unclear whether the bombing, which killed one person, is linked to the New Orleans attack.

“Our Country is a disaster, a laughing stock all over the World! This is what happens when you have OPEN BORDERS, with weak, ineffective, and virtually nonexistent leadership. The DOJ, FBI, and Democrat state and local prosecutors have not done their job. They are incompetent and corrupt, having spent all of their waking hours unlawfully attacking their political opponent, ME, rather than focusing on protecting Americans from the outside and inside violent SCUM that has infiltrated all aspects of our government, and our Nation itself,” Trump wrote on social media.

“Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen to our Country. The CIA must get involved, NOW, before it is too late. The USA is breaking down – A violent erosion of Safety, National Security, and Democracy is taking place all across our Nation. Only strength and powerful leadership will stop it. See you on January 20th. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he added.
