Authorities are searching a site in Texas as they look for clues after an attacker drove a truck with an ISIS flag into a crowd of New Year's revelers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans . The attacker is a Texas-born U.S. citizen and Army veteran. A potential improvised explosive device was in the truck he was driving, and other potential IEDs were discovered in the French Quarter, the FBI said.
Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill told NBC News that authorities believe multiple people were involved and that investigators suspected that explosive devices associated with the New Orleans attack were made in an Airbnb rented by those involved. Surveillance video captures the moment that a white pickup truck drove at high speed into a group of pedestrians in Bourbon Street, New Orleans. New York City has heightened security and boosted police presence around key areas following the incidents in New Orleans and Las Vegas, the city's mayor said this morning. NYC Mayor Eric Adams said that he was in 'constant communication' with the city's Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch after the attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas. 'While there are no immediate threats to our city at this time, out of an abundance of caution, we have heightened security and have increased NYPD presence at relevant locations,' he said in a post on X. A New York Times journalist interviewed the man suspected of carrying out the New Orleans attack for his college newspaper years ago in 2015. Writing for the NYT, Keenan recalled how Jabbar, a veteran and graduate of Georgia State University, told him of his difficulties acclimating to civilian life after leaving the military and the challenges of adapting to college life as a veteran. Jabbar had served in the Army on active duty from 2006 to 2015 and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2009, three U.S. defense officials separately confirmed to NBC News
