FBI says driver in New Orleans rampage acted alone and was ‘100%' inspired by Islamic State group

Associated Press  

NEW ORLEANS — The Army veteran who drove a pickup truck into a crowd of New Year’s revelers in New Orleans acted alone, the FBI said Thursday, reversing its position from a day earlier that he likely worked with others in the deadly attack that officials said was inspired by the Islamic State group. It was premeditated and an evil act,” said Christopher Raia, the deputy assistant director of the FBI’s counterterrorism division, calling Jabbar “100% inspired” by the Islamic State. Investigators now believe the driver who barreled through a crowd of New Year’s Day revelers in New Orleans acted alone in what the FBI is calling an act of terrorism. “But he didn’t give anything to me that would have suggested that he is capable of doing what happened.” In New Orleans on Thursday, a still-reeling city inched back toward normal operations.
