New Orleans attacker acted alone, had strong support for ISIS: Biden
Deccan ChronicleWashington: New Orleans attacker Shamsud-Din Jabbar acted alone even though there are indications that he had strong support for ISIS, US President Joe Biden has said.At least 14 people were killed and 35 others were injured after Jabbar drove his pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street early Wednesday. They've established that the attacker was the same person who planted the explosives in those ice coolers in two nearby locations in the French Quarter just a few hours before he rammed into the crowd with his vehicle," Biden told reporters at the White House on Thursday. He told reporters that they are also continuing to investigate whether or not there's any connection between the New Orleans attack and the explosion in Las Vegas. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told Fox News that the suspect in the New Orleans terror attack is part of a "phenomenon of homegrown violent extremists that we have seen develop and emerge over the past ten years."
