At least 15 people have been killed and dozens wounded after a man, identified by the FBI as a United States military veteran, ploughed a pick-up truck into a crowd of New Year’s revellers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, US.
The suspect, who was killed in a police shootout, has been identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a US citizen from the state of Texas.
The FBI is investigating the incident as an act of “terrorism” and said it does not believe the driver acted alone in the attack on one of the country’s top tourist destinations. However, the federal investigating body has not specified what evidence is being used to make that legal determination.
